Question

Ok folks, this is my first one in a while, I'm a little rusty. Don't get the right answer too quickly.

A mystery, a necessity, a marvel to some

Big or small, however they come

Going and coming and going again

Meet in the middle to end or begin

How they are set in their ways of motion,

An ebb and flow as of an ocean,

Disrupt the violence underneath

And lose current, a flow, a race beneath.

Tectonic Plates?

Hello Wilson. I think the problem with your answer is that

Tectonic Plates are all big (I think)

. I think that is an interesting line of thought though. I'll post some hints after a while, if no one gets it.

I go by Sam, by the way.

Flames.

A mystery, a necessity, a marvel to some - definitely

Big or small, however they come - check

Going and coming and going again - check

Meet in the middle to end or begin - ?

How they are set in their ways of motion,

An ebb and flow as of an ocean, - check

Disrupt the violence underneath - destruction of the fuel, be it wood or living, dying trees (or living, dying people)

And lose current, a flow, a race beneath. - eventually the fuel will run out

Now I'm thinking cycle of life, or the competition between life that forms the basis of evolution (the constant ebb and flow of species adapting to each others' presence). Destroy this competition, destroy the violence, and then progress stops, evolution halts.

Thinking about my guess of flames... stars? Fits the "going and coming" perfectly (every year seeing different stars in different parts of the sky), and maybe violence is a reference to stars' composition (nuclear reactions! Boom! Rawr!), and how without the sun there'd be no life on earth (well, not on land at least... there'd still be geothermal life)?

Darth, I like your reasoning skills. Here's another 2 lines:

I bring warmth, life, and breath,

Stagnant, still, is only death

I really hope that doesn't give it away, but I'm afraid it does.

Darth, you basically got it right....the exact answer is

blood vessels

, but since they comprise pretty much the entirety of your answer, I'll take it. Great job. What can I say, I was inspired at work.

Nope. Just working for a surgeon and completely obsessed with the human body. Haha...although being a vampire is the "in" thing now, I hear.
