The Marketplace

Living in the marketplace

It’s possible to attain grace

The tests are heftier

Results may be quicker

The soul will oblige

Its all-seeing eyes

Perceives our pain

Fighting for a net gain

Living in the marketplace

Stepping out of the race

We’re shown a treasure

Beyond worldly measure

We won’t diminish

When the ego’s finished

Even in a marketplace

Bliss becomes our face
