Riddles

The mind or emotions? I can feel the answer, but I can't figure it out. It's so close...

Nope. It has a lot to do with both of those, though

And yeah, I know what you mean. The meaning's all there, after all; you just have to pick the right word, right? Trouble is, you got an estimated 1,019,729.6 words in the English language to pick from. Good luck

I couldn't shake the thought that the answer was 'a dream' (or dreams, however you phrase the question). After giving it some time I'm now thinking it's 'sleep'.

Maybe it's just cause I'm so tired..

Interesting. One could say that it is a kind of dream, a very specific one, but "dream" implies a great many things that this is not.

No, it's not sleep either :3

I am shrouded in darkness and fog,

And forever I await in shadow and smog;

I endure unnoticed and o'erlooked at

Beginning and end, but you know all that.

When at last the Sun ceases to rise beyond

Tired eyes, you'll find me as a clear cool pond;

Soothing, easing, calming, 'till no voice

Of calm assertion will alter your final choice.

Choice I may be, but yet not always a free

Decision, as mind's malleable tree

Grows according to the influence of the grove;

The choice of one may infect all but love.

My power is no more than an illusory spell;

Those that wield me as power so fell

Do not yet know that I am merely their own

Savage might, living alone in a town

Of empty buildings, reaching for the sky.

Within such a home I wait and grow

From small seed of ember and snow

To great inferno and blizzard of fire

And ice, like one sung by bard on lyre.

What am I?

I think that this is the MAIN part... but of what? Medicine? Drugs?

[vexx32]

I guess you could say it has aspects of both, but is nothing like either in form

Also, the "main" part doesn't end there. That line's not the end of the phrase. The phrase ends a couple lines below that point xD

[Starwhip]

Me hateses your loogik.

[vexx32]

Don't have to like it to crack it

[Helix935]

uhh is it hate? or is it a madness?

Edit: no wait is it hands

[vexx32]

Nope to all three

[Helix935]

hmmmm is it dust or light

[vexx32]

Nope again, sorry

[Starwhip]

Is it chaos?

[Helix935]

no is it stillness or silence or is it decay?

[vexx32]

Is it chaos?

Nope

no is it stillness or silence or is it decay?

Sorry, nope

[Starwhip]

Is it water or the ocean?

[vexx32]

Once again, nope xD

[Helix935]

is it a leaf? or is it fall

[vexx32]

Sorry, nope

Here's the riddle again if you need to catch up

I am shrouded in darkness and fog,

And forever I await in shadow and smog;

I endure unnoticed and o'erlooked at

Beginning and end, but you know all that.

When at last the Sun ceases to rise beyond

Tired eyes, you'll find me as a clear cool pond;

Soothing, easing, calming, 'till no voice

Of calm assertion will alter your final choice.

Choice I may be, but yet not always a free

Decision, as mind's malleable tree

Grows according to the influence of the grove;

The choice of one may infect all but love.

My power is no more than an illusory spell;

Those that wield me as power so fell

Do not yet know that I am merely their own

Savage might, living alone in a town

Within such a home I wait and grow

From small seed of ember and snow

To great inferno and blizzard of fire

What am I?

[Starwhip]

Space seemed like such a good answer...

Um...

"The choice of one may infect all but love.

My power is no more than an illusory spell;

Those that wield me as power so fell"

Sounds like some kind of necessity of life, one that seems to be controlled but is not...

"When at last the Sun ceases to rise beyond

Tired eyes, you'll find me as a clear cool pond;

Soothing, easing, calming, 'till no voice

Of calm assertion will alter your final choice."

This sounds like death or sleep... or NIGHT!

Is it the night?

[vexx32]

Your first deduction is fairly accurate...

But it is not night

[tanuki_chau]

Could it potentially be memories or imagination?

[Helix935]

i think it is wind or water

[vexx32]

Could it potentially be memories or imagination?

Sigh, whenever you turn up I know you're going to either ruin my fun or make things harder for everyone else

No, it's not... but that's a hell of a lot more close than anyone else has gotten xD

On the right track there...

i think it is wind or water

Sorry, nope

[Helix935]

ok how about fear or awareness of the self which is basically consciousness

[vexx32]

Nope. Sorry :3

[Starwhip]

Is it loneliness?

[toolofdarkness]

how about fear

or an idea
