Into a shop comes an unusual guest
to withdraw from his pocket
a lifetime of requests
or will it be from a locket...

"shopkeeper, I will reap your shop
of the forces of nature..
a bottle of wind to guide me
on further quests,
a package of earth to keep me grounded
a carton of water to flow my course
and a stick of fire for added force."

"Young man, I have only what you see,
the forces of nature
are just that.... natural
containers of those elements exists
but in shops..your search will persist.

Martin, while you're at it why don't you order sunshine for happiness.
I could say "this is elemental my dear Watson" but that would be too baad - even for me

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown
