my candle burns at both ends
lighting the filaments of my life
echoing back a moment
echoing each action of love
burning fiercely all rests within
flashes of time gone wild
race before my mind
foretelling my dark dreams
This is a poetry,prose,Haiku and writing site
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1916
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!

A very strong response to the prompt! "Lighting filaments of my life" is a beautiful image.
Hauntingly beautiful. I love the line,"lighting the filaments of my life" and the way you echo echoing.
Nailed the theme well!
