The Pearl, The Lily Maid

I didn't think mine fit under that, since mine are general riddles and those are specifically Tolkien themed (Answers and clues refer to Tolkien trivia, and most of the riddles are original).

The question is whether it stands the test of being sufficiently Tolkien-related. On reflection, though, I'll let it stand. We did have a riddle game before where the answers were not necessarily Middle-earth related, and the riddle theme is, I think, a sufficent connection with Tolkien's works. One condition, though. Please try to make the riddles as similar as possible in style to those used in the riddle game between Bilbo and Gollum. I know that may make it a challenge to set a question but, hey, these games are supposed to be challenging ...

I'm thinking, I'm thinking!!!
Hmm...things that run. Clocks, rivers, streams, brooks (whoops, there's a rut)...the little dog, spoons, pickles....no! bad! silly! Things thought follows...well here's the problem. My thoughts (see above) don't follow...they run...gah! Will continue thinking to myself...

What have I got in my pockets?
I soar without wings, I see without eyes.
I've traveled the universe to and fro. I've conquered the world, yet I've never been anywhere but home. Who am I?
