Details
Swarming, looming ever closer
They surround us,
take away the beauty of life's mysteries
instead of letting them be
blinding us with the facts
stripping away the world's imagination

***

Details,
explanations, exaggerations
help the world to see
or do they
do they cloud the mind
or pulsate the senses?
let us be
or build stone fences
of irreplaceable,
anchored,
motionless,
static
facts.

You have a very good, unique style building up here. I really love how the structure ties into the subject.

This is the same piece as

"Details: Opinions", but under the title I prefer. Let me know what you think! :)
