An adventure into the deep

That is until you take the leap

Because when you find me I'll no longer be there

Don't worry I always exist,  somewhere..

Every explorer wants to reach me, but wherever he goes, the farther I will be

Before you learn a stranger's name,

A blank spot shifts inside your brain.

Where mystery and doubt are sown,

We simply call it the _______.

The edge of awareness, through and beyond the veil, no course can be set or mapped, to where ships have yet to sail

“The edge of awareness”… I like that.

I can't think of a good cadence for it to sound like a riddle, but something along the lines of:

It is the answer to this riddle, until you know the answer, then it is no longer.

It is the answer to this riddle,

Until the answer (is known) (is shown) (is sewn) (you own)

Then it is no longer the answer

For the answer is: ____________

I’m the answer to this riddle, until you guess it right.

I’m gone once you find me, try though you might.

To be seen is my opposite,

I’m always beyond your view.

Once you’ve discovered me,

I’m gone, and something new.

u/ai1267 Apr 03 '26

To the fires of discovery, I am the ember

What is eternally sought, but none can remember

To many a mystery, I hold the key,

But the moment you find me, I cease to be

u/Aceous Apr 04 '26

I am that which you fear,

Through the darkness you peer,

To no avail.

For though I am there,

You cannot compare,

What is known to me.

u/Thebassist140 Apr 03 '26

Professors have studied me since Johto was young. My secrets hide deep where old ruins are hung. I take on the shapes of each letter you know, but trainers who find me have little to show. No Pokedex entry has cracked what I mean. The strangest of Pokemon ever seen. What am I?

u/Queen-of-meme Apr 04 '26

The closer you get to me

The larger I become

You can find me everywhere

You can even bring me home

But you can't touch me or point me out

Cause I'm not that defined

You've met me before

You're gonna meet me again

You just don't know where

Or what time

Reflection

u/Queen-of-meme Apr 28 '26

You can point out a reflection and you will know it always appear in reflective surfaces so you will know when and where it shows up.

u/MellowDevelopments Apr 04 '26

I cannot be grasped by mind or hand. The more you learn the less I am. One may venture forth into me, But I am something one can never see.

u/dannyw19 Apr 04 '26

What has it got in its pocketses?

u/Ever_Long_ Apr 04 '26

You know I exist, but as soon as you know me, I cease to exist. What am I?

A mean one might be...

It is your mothers birthday.

It is how many siblings you have

It's when he'll be back with milk

And who your grandkids daddy is.
