Thread: A blissful riddle

In the beginning, everything is cloudy
follow through and there I am
at the end of every feeling.

I turn anger into hurt,
have lies transcend away;
from etching illusion, I'll set you free.

I'm the bonder of true friendships
my best friend is love itself
unconditionally
without a doubt you know me;

don't forget,
don't let just passion fill your head -
be whisked away
and it will no longer be me
there, in the flame.

When you despair, search within
I come and go and you'll never know
I just might be in.

Enlightening is my game.
What is my name?

Is it truth?

I had a bit of a problem with this line "or let but passion fill your head" it's a little awkward.

I don't know much about riddles, but I like this piece.

I have to say that I'm intrigued at what the answer is, Martin.

Svir, truth is a good guess, and relatable to the answer. I addressed that line that bothered you.

Cindy, I think I'll let it hang a little longer...

Thanks both.

Loyalty?
This really makes me think... not my best suit.

Is it god?
I get this because you use these words and phrases, "transcend" "without a doubt you know me" "in the flame." and "Enlightening"

If it is... I don't know it just sounds very very christian to me. Which actually turns me off. (I believe in a god/goddess but in my own way).
This, however I really did like,

In the beginning, everything is cloudy
follow through and there I am
at the end of every feeling.

This is really beautiful and applies to all religions, even all beliefs in general. For a friend of mine the answer to this part of the riddle would be "physics". Which I think is really wonderful.

Prisoner... that's a really good observation.
If I didn't say it, I have good feelings from that.
I've never seen this riddling going on before. I like it and I think I'll join in if I can write something today.

Intriguing Martin

Not God or Goddess but maybe faith or belief

Okay, how about Reason, or Reasoning?

Is it trust?

"Understanding" works for me.

No hit so far but it's some well interesting guesses. I surely hope the answer will live up to the riddle...

Not if you don't tell us!

how about time?

Thanks all for your read and answers. The closest guesses I'd say was "truth" and "understanding". In a sense it's a combination of these.

Now brace yourselves, for the blissful answer is: S i n c e r i t y

I hope it works, and now as you know the answer, any kind of critique is of course very welcome...
