A candle in the wind burning bright at both ends.
Selfish and fierce,assuming and consuming.
Living,tearing up and apart.
Following the passions of your heart.
Being human,and sometimes thankful.
Ready,set,go!
How lucky you are to be alive,with the possibility of death everyday.
Selfish and fierce,assuming and consuming.
Living,tearing up and apart.
Following the passions of your heart.
Being human,and sometimes thankful.
Ready,set,go!
How lucky you are to be alive,with the possibility of death everyday.

"My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light."
~Edna St. Vincent Millay
Thom that was beautiful..I might have to go against my rules and look up that writer.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
It is worth loking her up. She is easily one of my favorite poets. It wasn't until I learned more about her that I found out she was born and spent her early years in Maine, very close to where I lived.
Look up the poem "Inland" - possibly my favorite...
