Riddle Me This....

1. I am something you must give before you can keep me.
6. I am the silence that gives speech its shape and the point that brings a thought to its end.
9. I have two eyes but cannot see; I am useless until you stick your fingers in me.
14. I am not alive, but I grow; I do not have lungs, but I need air; I do not have a mouth, but water kills me.
15. I am a son of the sun, born of wax and wick, who dies when the wind sighs.
16. The man who makes me doesn't want me; the man who buys me doesn't use me; the man who uses me doesn't know it.
17. I have no voice, but I can tell you if the sky will cry or if the sun will smile.

2. I am a silent silver orb that changes my face every night but never turns my back.
3. I am a treasure chest you carry in your mind, but if you lose the key, the gold turns to dust.
4. I am the invisible tether that keeps the oceans down and the heavens in their place.
5. I am the tiny parent of a great forest fire, born from a strike or a friction.
7. I am a dirty snowball with a tail of fire, racing through the void on a long, elliptical path.
8. I fly without wings, I pass without feet, and once I am gone, I can never be caught.
9. I am a master architect who builds a home of silk, only to eat my guests.
10. If you have me, you want to share me; if you share me, you haven't got me.
11. I am the line where the earth meets the sky, always ahead but never within reach.
12. I am thrown away when you want to stay and pulled back in when you want to leave.
13. I have four giant wings but never fly; I feast on the breeze to grind what is dry.
