M

For my days vanish like smoke; 
my bones burn like glowing embers. 

My heart is blighted and withered like grass; 
I forget to eat my food. 

In my distress I groan aloud 
and am reduced to skin and bones. 

I am like a desert owl, 
like an owl among the ruins.

Psalm, Chapter 102, Verses 3-6, New International Version
