RIDDLES INDEX

On my own, I am darkness, a black abyss. But, Life brings me light with its gentle kiss. I am quiet and cold, but warmth I can hold. Alongside beauties and wonders, sights to be told. My surface may be bare, this I'm aware. But, beautiful secrets I am eager to share. My mouth so large, I swallow you whole. To be in my belly is your goal. What may lie within can drive men to sin. Greed and desire, gluttony's kin. For some, I am fear. For others, hope. My perception shaped from life's scope. From the earth I have come, and forever will stay, even if parts of me crumble away. What am I?

I can fill a room with out being seen, for your eyes I do not need. I can be felt, but can never feel; can be heard, but can never hear. I have many thoughts, but never think. I say many things, but never speak. I can tell a story with no words. Through my waves I am heard. I am your life, your love and sad goodbye. I resound in your every laugh and cry. I mark time, and time marks me. The past, present and future, through me you’ll see. What am I?

What ancient device allows people to traverse through walls?

You use me daily, but if you arrive safely, I am never used. What am I?

How do fish communicate?

Tomorrow I am surely here, yesterday I am found as well. Today I am gone. Who am I?

I am found atop the mountains, and alongside a crag. At the end of a winding staircase, and I will accompany the plague. Who am I?

Half of me builds towers and cities, the other half is squirming in the dirt. When I am whole, I become angry and bitter. Who am I?

Half of me will mend, the other half will imprison. When I am together, I will poison. Who am I?

I am a stain in your memories, many times you question me. What am I?
