I’m found at a counter, but I’m not to buy. I take what you give me, no questions why. Your presence I note, your details I store. Hand out your paper - and I open the door.

I’m the fireplace’s favorite rug, where flames do dances, snug as a hug. I guard the floor from ember and spark, keeping things safe when the nights are dark. What am I?

Beauty, not a blemish That speckle on fair skin.

Slender by nature, weaving tales unseen, connecting pieces with a needle's gleam. In fabric's dance, I find my way, stitching life from night to day.

I have a body but no soul, A single eye that sees no goal. I drink from silver cylinders to keep my sight, And only wake when you banish the light.
