It is believed
There is a period
Of the wandering soul
Between life and rebirth
Said to last forty-nine days
During this time
We must learn to detach
Separate, from the material world
And review the lessons we have learned
Crying, while morning
Confuses and distracts the dead
Troubles them, and delays their passing
The living should clear the wanderer's path
The dead must allow, the elements
That once supported them in their life
Earth, water, fire, and wind, to collapse
Then, one is free to enter the final element
