A poison I am, and yet I heal, too
Yellow I appear, and yet I burn blue.
A powder for guns, a stone for the brim
I dwell in springs, moons, and the volcano’s rim

What am I?


I am found in your blood;
I am found in the sun.
I fall from the heavens
I’m the core’s number one.

I’m a maiden of torture.
I’m a shirt; I’m a gun.
I’m Alpha and Omega
I am the Age that is done.

What am I?


I am the stone of lovers’ giving.
I am what keeps the fire fed.
I am the base of all things living.
I tell the age of all things dead.

What am I?
