another riddle

[kodalai]

I stand on every shore and watch
The patient movements of the sea
I sleep within the mountain top
I'm there and yet I am not me.
I slumber under every wave
No ray of light can there be seen
And if I should be caught and burned
Forever frozen shall I be.

hmm..driftwood or fallen wood?

No, not quite... I can't quite see how wood would get inside a mountaintop, since wood doesn't usually leave fossils... nor does it for the most part sink under water. Good guess, tho.

*wavies at mikke* ^_^
is it sand?
(i just had sudden epiphany... cuz glass is a liquid)
very good rhyme scheme and rhythm tho... if it weren't a riddle it could make a very nice poem. ^O^

*hee* Glad you think so! And yes, you are quite correct... sand is the answer.
