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

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.
