Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.

Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Here's a riddle I made up. It's probably confusing, but someone might get it....

I've seen everything since time began
But I am not God's eyes
I am the bringer of darkness
And reflect the light that flies
Scientifically, I do not exist
Metaphorically, I'm the definition of forever
I am seen in many colors
But there are few that you'll remember


Can anyone guess? ;)

Sorry, Phoenix, that's not right

(I think blackholes have been proven to exist... but I could be wrong)

However, I do agree that that's a good answer. ;D

something makes me want to say "Death" but i don't think that's right... the other thing was "infinity" but that can't be it either...

I'd say 'the universe', which is supposed to be infinite (how do you prove that?). But the universe exists, because we're in it. No? Hrm. How do you prove that?

Just a guess: is it a rainbow?

Very, Very hard one here:

I sustain, and I destroy, at the same time. I give the least to my smallest, and the most to the other smallest. I give life, and cause death. I control, and am the head, and my wrath is terrible for those who get too close. What am I?

Hint: I'm not God.
