This reminded me of my poem. An excerpt from "Life and Death".

This life has so much left in store,
We think,  a day gone by isn’t lost;
It’s made of hours that bear no cost,
A hundred gone, a thousand more

While each tomorrow brings its weight,
A list of things to be achieved,
The joys embraced and sorrows grieved
To go as far as led by Fate.

These heaps of men are shattered dreams,
The weeping stars across the sky
Descend to mourn their loss and sigh;
Though all in vain, in vain, it seems!

- Satyananda Sarangi
