The market

I’m walking in the market
The sights and smells abound
Not one busier place
In the world could be found

I bartered with a man or two
Lost my better things
Then found a kindly man
Who sold me silver wings

The price he asked was quite obsurd
Such a deal could not exist
“Take them free” said he to me
“Only now follow this list”

It was a list of places to go
Places without it I’d never know
Gladly I went and found great deals
Earplugs, glasses, and a place in the show

Now I stand at this next stall
After tasting a lesser part
I now am gambling
With my dice, and heart

I know here I was meant to come
For here I found great love
But now I’m buying much too much
Loosing the wings of a dove

As the dice begin to fall
But before I see the score
I’ll barter for my heart again
For my wings that I might soar

I have earned such great things
From the greyest witch’s stall
But if I gained here any more
I’d loose my list and fall

Charity and tolerance
Are the good things which I’ll keep
But now I’ll barter all I have
That only wheat I’ll reap

It is not enough I know
But I have a friend
And with his ever loving aide
This is a happy end

I can't see the meaning here, I'm sensing a meaning yet I can't quite grasp what it is yet.
Yet another good poem on your part. Does your ink turn to gold when you write, because it seems like it to me
