From afar
a solid stature
appears
Standing tall
from a distance
Getting closer
creates clarity
Up close
details arise
from their slumber
A few steps more
makes
every crack
vivid
every specification
alive
Within those details
lies secrets
memories
and much more
They tell stories
of years past
and dreams
of the future
They behold
the very essence
of life
the meaning
of individual perception
the definition
of one's
true identity
And eventually
they bleed
the true colors
attempting to hide
beneath the service
