here's a hint.....it's not a snail...'AT TIMES I REST,MY DWELLING STILL RUNS"..So it can't be its shell,though it is still its home......IP: Logged |

I would say a fish of some kind, most likely one that lives in a river, though I get the feeling that isn't the "correct" answer.MY HOUSE IS NOT QUIET,I AM NOT LOUD An ocean or a sea has waves to make noise, while fish are pretty silent. ;BUT FOR US GOD FASHIONED OUR FATE TOGETHER Ummm, yeah... I AM THE SWIFTER,AT TIMES THE STRONGER Don't certain trout swim upstream to lay eggs or something? That would make them stronger. MY HOUSE MORE ENDURING,LONGER TO LAST Obviously, the fish come and go while the water remains. AT TIMES I REST,MY DWELLING STILL RUNS This is the line that gave me the clue; a river runs. WITHIN IT I LODGE AS LONG AS I LIVE, SHOULD WE TWO BE SEVERED........ MY DEATH IS SURE. Ayup. Like "a fish out of water"? Whaddya think, Valhalla? Am I close? IP: Logged |

Here's another one......OFT I MUST STRIVE WITH WIND AND WAVE, BATTLE THEM BOTH WHEN UNDER THE SEA, I FEEL OUT THE BOTTOM,A FOREIGN LAND. IN LYING STILL I AM STRONG IN THE STRIFE; IF I FAIL IN THAT THEY ARE STRONGER THAN I, AND WRENCHING ME LOOSE,SOON PUT ME TO ROUT. THEY WISH TO CAPTURE WHAT I MUST KEEP. I CAN MASTER THEM BOTH IF MY GRIP HOLDS OUT. THE ROCKS BRING SOCCOUR AND STRENGTH IN THE STRUGGLE. ASK ME MY NAME. ------------------ On a clear day you can see forever...... IP: Logged |
