============================================================

    The day we die
    the wind comes down
    to take away
    our footprints.

    The wind makes dust
    to cover up
    the marks we left
    while walking.

    For otherwise
    The things would seem
    as if we were
    still living.

    Therefore the wind
    is he who comes
    to blow away
    our footprints.
