Love Is the Easy Part

To be "involved" can sound a little sly;
"Complicated" some one says and rolls his eye!
But I protest and politely ask                    
That "involved" be returned unto its proper task.

Involved is care
   to be aware.
   Look, listen is perceive,
   receive, immerse in some one/thing
   other than the self...
   Not just the facts, Ma'am!
Involved is feel,
   like care, only more like real;
   not just wash the idea 
   in some other kind,    
   but drink! Inhale with your diaphragm!  
Involved is hard.
   If knife to you to me is knife,
   must I also die?
   Or knife and not-knife
   both are true and
    I be I and also you...
Involved is life!
   Alone, alone is guard. Experience!
   Broaden means across a space between
   Two wheels in one track 
   is ahead/behind.
Don't sweat the clear, uncluttered
    mind. It's still okay to keep 
   the I and You in We.
