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?

I was thinking it would take me a while to get that word problem after writing down the letters, but it was pretty easy after looking at them.

1
If you have it
You don't want to share it
If you share it
You don't have it
2
What is the thing
which comes in sheets,
yet cannot be folded or
gathered again?

I have split the one into five.
I am the circle that few will spy.
I am the path that breaks and gives.
I am the bow no man may bend.
