I Wear You Down
I wear you down, yet you will mourn me once I fly.
You can kill me, but I will never die.
Time.
(found in The Copper Gauntlet by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare)
To Be Gold Is Good
To be gold is to be good,
To be stone is to be nothing,
To be glass is to be fragile,
To be cold is to be cruel.
What am I?
A heart.
Tends To Overlook
I am something everybody tends to overlook, no matter how careful they are. What am I?
Your nose.
Three Lives Have I
Three lives have I.
Gentle enough to soothe the skin,
Light enough to caress the sky,
Hard enough to crack rocks.
Water.
No One Can Reach It
It’s red, blue, purple and green, no one can reach it, not even the queen. What is it?
A rainbow.
Halo of Water, Tongue of Wood
Halo of water, tongue of wood
Skin of stone, long I’ve stood.
My fingers short reach to the sky
Inside my heart men live and die.
A castle.
