Question

I rise with the sun

I set with the moon

Between risings and settings,

Nothing can bloom.

I require careful planning

But nothing can stop me,

Weaker than a bee,

As powerful as the sea.

This is a tricky one, and I will give no help! Let you figure it out among yourselves! :)

It sounds like the morning glory flower to me.

The soul
Thats not so far off! Yes, I'll give you that.

um... How?

I think "the mind" is better than the soul... but I think that both of those answers are fairly weak...

Sleep.

Sleep stops (rises) with the sun,

It starts (sets) with night (the moon),

and in the time between you don't get any.

You must plan when to go to sleep,

you must eventually get some,

a bee can wake you,

and the sound of the ocean can send you off.

Is it gravitational pull of the moon?

The moon's gravity causes the earth's tides to rise and set.

Although the gravitational force causes the tides, nothing blooms on the moon.

You have to be aware of when the tides come in, and it happens no matter what.

The moons gravity is weak but its gravitational forces causes earth's water bodies to move (tides).

We know it's there but we cannot see it.

(but this doesn't seem right)
