Withering Away

I'm withering away
Bit by bit
Petal by petal
Death is taking charge
And life is gnawing away
What's left of the carcass
A strange peace shrouds the noise
And I strain to hear a voice
Which touches a note that
Makes the silence musical
My breath is but a whiff
The thin air that blows out
Striking the light blind
