Thief in the Night
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
I come silently, a thief in the night,
Full of peace, but often malice or spite,
I steal breath, life, and health.
Spirit away love, fear, and wealth.
I cast you down or up on high,
Into the bowels of the Earth or the womb of the sky.
What am I?
