A Cloud Kingdom Classic Riddle
 
From Indy 2005
Like a tide that ebbs and flows
With the turning of an age.
Like a snail with shining shell
That traps the land within a cage.
Takes diamonds fallen from on high
Joined to carve the earthly stage.
A mountain vast formed from the small
Slick and shiny, slippery wall.
(answer is one word)
