Details



Polishing the details,
What importance can this be?

Details are what make something whole.

They are the branches of a tree,
Destined for growth-
And it’s full capacity.

Those who include the details
Are those who create masterpieces
The ones that completely seize us
And absorb us

The most fantastic artists
Included the details
In fact, they magnified them
And that’s how you win

About this poem

The power of the smallest detail.
