This thing all things devours
Birds, beasts, trees and flowers
Gnaws Iron
Bites steel
grinds hard stone to meal
Slays king
Ruins town
And beats high mountain down
Black within and red without.
In four corners, roundabout.
Alive without breath
As cold as death
Ever thirsty, never drinking
All in mail and never clinking
In marble halls as white as milk
Lined with skin as soft as silk
In a fountain crystal clear
A golden apple does appear
No doors are there to this stronghold
Yet thieves break in and steal the gold.
All one color but not one size.
Stuck at the bottom yet easily flies.
Present in sun but not in rain.
Doing no harm and feeling no pain.
Time I'm pretty certain about.
I believe I also worked out shadow.
And to one of them, I can only guess: egg? The fountain crystal clear kind of throws me off.
The others I have no idea about...
Is it normal to want to hear a riddle?
