Interesting exchanges occurred on phone

Ideas swapped about themes best left alone

Now, I see, opinions have been misconstrued

Once again ... too many words, and too loose



But it's okay, as it wakes me up from a slumber

Making me aware there are just no real numbers

Which pinpoint successful exchanges of ideas

Separating them from those leaving you in tears



All one has is one's own mind to gauge it all ...

And this only works from time to time, when full

Of passions shared - which outnumber theories

... These are far more valuable than fear of ease ...
