The sun goes up
the plow goes down

There's turnips to be sown at sun's first light.

I am the tiny gems upon a cloth of pure black satin. Red and blue, orange and yellow and a bright and sparkling white. I am the greatest ally to the roving cutter's captain. I'll take his hand and lead him through the dark and dreary night.
Stars
I am what you see when there's nothing else to see. I fade in and out, and sometimes I fly and you wonder where I've gone. What am I?
Time
I am your most loyal guide, the last to light your way as you dive deep.
Polaris?
I awake while you sleep, a never ending watch to keep. Twinkling far out of reach, the nights pitch black I breach. What am I?

What am I?
Seaweed
I cannot read the messages I carry, nor relay them with my speech, but through an instinct to find their home their recipients I will reach.
Bird
I carry the scent of the sea or whatever I pick up along my way. I push the rain in torrents or gentle splashes. I lift the gliding birds to new heights. What am I?
Wind
I come in all shapes and sizes! I can be a simple home or maybe just a nifty trinket. I rest on a bed of hard grains but I'm just as special as the gem you can find in me. What am I?
Mollusk shell
I dance and sway in darkness
Where people hardly see
Growing towards a sky
That’s not suitable for me
I come in many forms
In rivers, lakes, and seas;
Dried, you’ll see me wrapping
Rice, fish, and veggies!
What am I?
Seaweed
I deliver, upon wings of white, the children you so sought. Though I may be mottled grey, white, and brown, I bear the color of fresh blood. What do I represent?
Beginnings?
I dive, I fly, but although I try
I’ll never reach the sky,
for the birds seek me,
and without the sea I cease to be.
What am I?
Flying fish
I diverge and split, grasping from black clouds, hold your breath, count, listen for my sound.
Lightning
I do not speak, do not move. Yet I am alive, eating, drinking, growing every day. What am I?

Sand
I'm easily forgotten by day, resting as you go away. Come dusk, night, and awful fright, here with me, you'll be alright. I'm dimmer than the sun, but can be pretty fun. I'm fewer than the stars, but closer than they are. Who am I?

I'm way up high but covered with down. What am I?

Plants
I need to eat to live and thrive, but give me water and I may die; please let me keep you company, at night when you are cold and lonely. What am I?
Fire
I paint the area around you, up high as far as the eye can see, to the depths below, where creatures roam free. I take on shades with relative ease, a painting of life that ever changes, beauty which comes and goes as they please. What am I?
Blue, Sky, Water
I push and I pull, but don't call me mean - it's just part of my nature, and I'll wave in-between. What am I?

I rest my head in the kingdom of my neighbor, It is where I find my food. Though my realm is always near, theirs is where I build my home. What is my kingdom?

Ocean
I soar and fall and flutter, and yet I'm not a bird. What am I?

Sun

I take off from a tree, on the wind I rise
Looking down at everyone with a bird's eye
I spin higher and free till I realize
What shape did I make against the bright blue sky?
Spiral
I walk on sea and on the land. I clap aloud yet have no hand. I have an eye that doesn't gaze. I cry and cry for days and days. I am the shout, the roar, the shriek. So watch yourself, don't risk a peek.

A soft glow I provide in sight,
I flutter with friends beside me,
As we gleefully dance a merry jig,
Above the fields for all to see.

Wind
It's the kiss from the sun. It's the heat of the sand. It's the warmth in your heart. It's hand in hand.
Love/Passion

I will push and pull from all four directions, roaming freely from section to section. What am I?

Lamps that erase the dark of night, twinkle and shine everlastingly bright. Though with the darkness gone, the skies lights no longer shone, leaving the sky cold and alone. What is it the night has lost?

Night falls along the coast, a lone ship sailing in the distance. Its silhouette stands out like a ghost, a lantern's bloom the only proof of existence. Stars glitter in waves of dancing twilight, the lamp only one among many drops of light.

Painting pictures seen through the mind's eye, light glimmering across the great glass eye. Figures shifting and moving as time marches on, only tales carrying the memory of shapes that have since gone. What are we?

Paler hues turn to deep blues, fathomless and distant. In the furthest reaches lights shine as proof of life's existence. We yearn to explore both above and below; there's still so much to see and know!
Sky, ocean, curiosity
Peacefully they stand side by side. The beasts, the heros and others alike. You might know a story, a tale but on a starry night come without fright. Rest by the hillside and watch them stride, line by line.

Peer at me, watch me spin.
I'm so distant from mortal view
Any yet you can see me from within,
How strange a telescope is to look through.

than meets the eye
Who am I?

Charm (Celestine)
Solitude and solemnity are vital to my duty. Darkness and clear skies giving way to bright beauty. From the stars I might divine what soon may come to pass, telescope and journals arranged upon the dewy grass. I look for wisdom in these distant configurations, all while fending off youthful vexations.
Astra
Some birds are the symbols of wisdom. Do you know when they fly?
Night (owl)
Some call it magic to read the stars, and some call it untrue. But here in the cove, with minds like ours, how do we read the tiny lights littered in an expanse of blue?
Comprehension
Something to ponder, let yourself wander by the cliffs over yonder. Though flight is for the condor, your mind soars as you wonder...

The waves whispered a distant song, and among them was a boy, who really shouldn't be there for long. For his shop needed tending, or at least a watchful gaze, but the little crafter is distracted, his interest in the store abrased. He picked up the shells, his mind lost in thought, their pale blues really told a lot. For these stories from battered waves had reached him, his expression pensive, and he had to sit in silence while the stories increased his ...

Companions of gentle waves,

We shine brighter than the sun, yet you can only see us in the dark, what are we?
Stars
What am I? It's hard to be precise- but if I had to describe myself I'd say! Think of air, think of water ripples, think of slow piano and the drizzle of rain in the background. I'm clarity and sadness, I'm a melody of an experience!

“I think you should go this way.”

Charm
You stand at high cliff's edge, borrowed wings upon your back. To Carneau's service did you pledge, and there's no time to slack! You take a running start, and from cliffside you leap. Hope and fear fill your heart - up, the strong winds sweep!
You'll spend ages and ages learning of me, but until the end of time, there will always be more to see.
Knowledge
You’ve looked up to me every day of your life for my mysterious beauty and you have even sent others to try and reach my secrets. Still, the only tangible thing you have received from me are my tears.

My eyes are not decieved by the devious
They seek truth and compassion in hiding
Clione?
Forging steel, feasts of meat,
I'm harnessed for a deadly heat.
Fire
I am a vast filter, breathing in nutrition
My song resonates in the deep
Whales
I am the devil of children's songs
The many teethed gnasher of unsuspecting fools
And yet I am just a part of this watery world
Simply living as I am, never halting
Shark
I am scarce in the sea, carrying that which sustains life up through the depths, rhythmically with the tides.
Plants
I bring colours to the depths, exploring slowly on my stomach; I come in many shapes and sizes, what am I?
Sea Slug
I can be a home for one, a finder's treasure, or scatter into a thousand grains. What am I?
Shell
I cannot survive where I call home
Without the help of my ingenuity
Above my head is a dome
Mirrored by my abode
Olievar
I carry flora and fauna alike, essential for life, yet also deadly for those not ready.
Current
I feel with my body, my thoughts unknown to all.
The ocean is my cloak, to which my skin reacts.
Octopus/Squid
I have always been here
Watching over disorder
Silently brewing balance
My great scales stretch from coast to coast
A single flick of my tail will change the tides
Vaer
I have many legs, but none that would support my weight on land, what am I?
Octopus/Squid
I have many legs that appear upon the sky's wrath
Upwards they lift, sending souls to their doom.
Kraken
I look not like what I am
Swimming quietly in place
Nothing like the steed I resemble on land
Seahorse
I open and I close, I dance and I twirl, but I am rooted to one place. What am I?
Sea Anemone
I run in channels throughout the world,
Sending life, warmth, and cold into regions unknown
Seek me out for quick passage, nutrients, and life
Water
I sway and float with the tides in which I live, many recoil from my touch but for others I am a delicious treat. What am I?
Seaweed
I sway with the moon, hold secrets untold. Many meet me but few truly know me. What am I?
Ocean
I'm so tiny that I am nearly invisible, yet I am food for even the largest of creatures depend on me. What am I?
Plankton
Let me pull you deep below
Under the ocean's endless gown
Wonder and beauty, life aglow
Hold your breath and do not drown
Current
Many an intrepid explorer tries me, eager to uncover the mysteries of the depths.
Without a steeled heart however, most will succumb to existential fear.
Denameep Ocean?
Master me, or drown in the depths
The alternative options are limited
I allow for freedom and life where there is no air
Diving
My breath sustains life. My lungs are heated by a great core. I create and expel land if the heat rises too abruptly.
Volcano
My dastardly deeds will astound you
All will sing of my tales
Great glory I seek in the deep blue
Through pride and peril I'll prevail
Follow my path or find my wrath
Awaiting you in the sea
Wras
My life is suspended on the vitality of another
My brethren and I create a cluster, thriving to the chagrin of that whom we depend upon
Barnacles
My name sounds like the pitter patter of rain
A sound you'll never hear in my world
A deep gloom surrounds me
Disguising my benevolent heart
I know not of my own goodness
Pyrifera
My tendrils sway in the currents
Reaching ever upwards amongst the rocks
Most are caught in my trap
Never to escape
Anemone
Once above, now below.
I used to travel long, long ago.
Purpose lost, though purpose gained.
I may hide treasures to be obtained.
Shipwreck
Oh weary sailor,
Let me sing you a tune
Join me in the depths
Scales illuminated by the moon
Siren
Round and round I wind
Boats like toys sway in waves
As I slither by beneath
Those above remain blind
Eels
Rosy, glistening, sweet
I am only a mimic of my namesake
I can be crunched or melted on the tongue
Brittle are my bones, but a rare treat!
Sea cockroach (Lobster)
Softly I balloon out, carried by the current
My movements can be mistaken for the tide's rhytm
But I am very much alive, and neverending
Jellyfish
The world below ours, is but a stone's toss away
But without a special set of lungs, we cannot live here
Ocean
Through my inner chambers
Shaped like a spiral lung
You can hear the soft breathing of the wind
Harkening to the ocean's cries
Conch Seashell
Through time and tides, my once jagged body is shaped. My layers and history can be seen at a glance. My rounded form betrays the years of my wandering.
Metamorphic Rock
Unrelenting, patient as a stargazer. I plan for the equilibrium of my world. I give no quarter to those who create imbalance. I will find you, you of impertinence.
Vaer
Up close I am made of many tiny shells and stones,
From a distance you cannot tell one of me from another
Sand
We appear in many shapes and sizes, in the sea we are disguised in the shape of fish. What are we?
Mammals?
We are not lawless,
We simply live by our own rules,
Governed by the ocean,
Loyal unto ourselves only
Pirates
With red fins, and small quick steps
I traverse the comfort of familiarity
Questioning the great beyond
Challenging small enmities
Wise and sagely in classroom pretend
Young and curious are my real strengths
Poe
You may think I am made of rock,
But I am alive and made of many different things,
I look very beautiful but I am delicate despite my strength
