0 Guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Wave? I don't see how it fits with "light" though. It fits. a wave of light (light is both a wave and a particle). It fits with everything, as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a good point, I still don't think you would think that up for a riddle though. It's hard, sometimes to take on the perspective of the riddler, when thinking up an answer. Often our thoughts are quite a stretch from what you'd come up with yourself for the same topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Guest
Not of darkness, but of light,
Of all types, even white,
In the right form it can render rocky land
Harmless, like a bed of sand,
Yet it doesn’t cost a hundred grand,
Its free, and can from your hand.
Of crime, of emotion,
Of hair, of the ocean,
This simple word is in constant motion.
