Consistent and always around,
I'm everywhere without a sound.
Though still lighter than the air
I'll weigh upon many a care.
I'm an in, out, table, and line
And add some season to the wine.
A fleeing friend to the old
And scoffed by youth like deadly mold.
When you're on me there is no worry
Unless you're late and in a hurry.
A collection of forms and faces
Always divided by people and places,
With topics of physics, philosophy,
Warps, quirks, and relativity.
I'm good, bad, short, and long--
Used in Dance, Drama, (this poem), and Song.
I'm manipulated, loathed, measured--
Loved, worshipped, and even treasured.
Some sell a part of me in shares,
By days, weeks, months, and years.
Indifferent and increasingly,
I am now, as then, and there to be.

No wild guesses please. Just comments, and I.M. the answer because it is rather easy and obvious, I think. Thanks, Avi

I know this one, I'm about 90% sure of this one, and it was all for one line, and the other ones helped.

Hey, spiffy, congratulations and thanks for the comment. I have read this out in public many times and am always astounded at the different responses being either right or wrong. Some have gotten in the first six lines, and others almost at the end. I have read it all the way through twice, and both times I was a bit uncomfortable after telling them, "Oh, this an easy riddle and I encourage you to shout the answer out and I will keep reading so everyone can see my method in arranging the clues to the piece." Well, as I got closer to the end I would slow down, enunciate, and notice these longfaces with dumbfounded expressions, and it really felt embarrasing because it was like I was setting them up, and there I was responsible. Now, I just say it is a simple riddle and they may guess out loud..., if they figure it out. No more promising that they will know it! lol Well, thanks again and your comments and suggestions are always welcome. Best Regards, David

I liked this one I"m alomost positive I know it and don't want to keep bugging you with riddle answers for riddles you've posted a long time ago. Anyhow I just wanted to let you know that I think the riddle thing is interesting. You're the first person I've seen who has done this.
