Question

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.

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.

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.
