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?

Yes! I'll have to see if I can remember any of the harder ones again...

What do people own that others use more than them?
(and it's not a doorbell)

Tis indeed a name.

Here before you and gone after your dead, Im a trinty but not always Holy.

I've journeyed all over the world and through space. I'll can move ever so slowly or with the quickest of pace.

What I am?

I’d guess “time.”

Not sure about the trinity of time though. Perhaps it refers to past, present and future?

Here on earth it is true, yesterday is always before today; but there is a place where yesterday always follows today. Where is that?

Everybody in the house of love?

(although if no man made love we'd all be rather tetchy).

Got it - a bee hive. the first answer's more poetic though.

here's one

A man comes to a fork in the road, in the middle of which stands a huge pillar on which is written the following.

The one road leads to hellfire
The other ends in eternal joy
your a prisoner to luck my friend
or fate's newest shiny toy

For there's no telling which to take.
which rolling path goes where?
You might as well turn back my friend
In quiet sad despair.

For you have not the wisdom
nor the sprightly mind and wit
to solve the problem now beheld
Nor discover its quirky trick

Each of these paths are guarded
By A brother of the lord
one always tells disgusting lies
One always keeps his word.

you have but a single question
you can ask it only once
you can ask only one of them
It is your only chance.

What is the question? (that is the question)

Can you find the door to freedom?
Will your choice lead you to Hell?
only your capacity for thought
and only time will tell.
