Riddles

[Raven]

Over three years have gone by and this riddle has held its pride of place. I was unable to solve it, but I did ask it to others and a netizen of the name MultiverseTraveller has posed the answer: a cat.

It's been so long that I had to look it up, but yes, it's a cat.

So the ball's in your court now.

[Raven]

I clothe you.
I feed you.
I help you sleep.
You're called me.
You feed me.
You find and keep.

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

An herb?

(That's just a shot in the dark, and I'm most likely wrong. I just wanted you to know that I'm not ignoring the thread.)

[Coír Draoi Ceítien]

Actually, I'm going to throw out another answer that I'm more confident in - a sheep.

[Raven]

And so it is. The riddle falls to you, Coir.

This one is probably easy, but I just liked the sound of it.


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.
