Default Riddles


How about we all write some riddles?

I'll start us off with a very short one. I won't post the solution to start, but maybe I'll edit it in later (possibly in white text you need to highlight to see).

By the way, I've made this a "no index" thread, so fear not Google.
Riddle

On earth, it's almost everywhere.
Its first is found midway through death.
Its second is the name we share.
Its third is heard in every breath.

PS (with hint)--
For those who don't read many riddles, there's a long tradition in riddles of using "first" and "second, " etc., to refer to the letters spelling the solution to the riddle. This is the first riddle I ever wrote using that convention, since I generally prefer riddles geared toward the Thing itself rather than to the spelling of the Thing.
