Here's an old one for you......?

Question

What walks on four legs in the morning
Two legs in the afternoon
Three legs in the evening

Always wax, yet always wane: I melt, succumbéd to the flame.
Lighting darkness, with fate unblest, I soon devolve to shapeless mess.

Here there is no north, west, nor east,
And weather fit for not man nor beast.

The first person to put a riddle on here that stumps me will be chosen as the best.

Please, legitimate riddles only.

Answer 1

It's man's cycle of life

In the morning (or early part of his life) he walks on four legs because he's a infant

In the afternoon (or middle years) he walks on twe legs because he's learned how to walk

In the evening (or the end) he's an old man, and walks on three legs because one of those ''legs'' is a cane.

Answer 2

Isn't a man? He crawls on his hands and knees in the morning of his life, he walks upright in the afternoon of his life, and walks on two legs and a cane in the evening of his life? I never did get that one.
