the market place is always set up at dawn

a trade, an exchange or what one can pawn

early is the buyer seeking bargains and gifts

excited, determined to find the gems he can sift

sift out from the abundance

of the all to be shared

holding on to the skills

of knowing how all is compared

and then the warrior turns off

the element of speed

and enters the market

as a fair-trade buyer to heed

the gems that he finds

stand out from the rest

then with ease he departs

having conquered his quest
