Be it desired.
Is it required?
Can it be comprehended?
Felt beneath the skin
Less experienced?
Does it demand participation?
Accumulation?
Confrontation of facts?
Left raw
Or baked through life
Can it be digested and invested?
Intellectual
Or emotional
A pinch of both extremes
Too lend potency
To empathy
Two parted yet a whole
Understand
how understanding
Demands humility
While standing high and bold.
