Often traveled by folks, going to and fro. I'm what you might say is the ideal way to go. You can stray from me if you're in a rush, but you're more than likely to get caught in the brush.

I usually have a beginning, a middle, and an end. The hardest part, is often writing the first sentence.

I talk but have no mouth, I listen but have no ears. You speak first, I speak second. What am I?

I shimmer, I stutter, I struggle to stay, I brighten the dark, then fade away.

Kings and queens won't let it fall, But a jack hit his and lost it all, It used to name a minted wealth, But now is meant for oral health.
