Sum the gist
In short list

Heart owns mind
As soul binds

Joy moves fest
Love fits best

Touch of warm bliss
This simple gist
Where that and this
Embrace fine list.


Joy in sure smile
Can seed good cheer
As play now styles
A fondness here.

No need to play


Pray on the way
To flood this day

To string fine say 


All in good time
Touch circles rhymes

Stripping away
The padding
To gist,
Crux

The lizard is wandering silently to its food

The light is the obstinate demand of the ant-hill
Food is the output gist of the life's death!
