We are burning candles at both ends,
In life's relentless race, where time transcends.
Each end aglow with a fervent flame,
Bearing witness to life's passionate game.

One end aglitter with morning's rise,
A new beginning, a fresh sunrise.
With dreams alight and hopes so bold,
We chase ambitions, breaking the mold.

The other end flickers in twilight's grace,
As day surrenders to the night's embrace.
A quiet glow in the dimming light,
Reflections cast in the fading sight.

Burning candles at both ends we find,
Life's dualities, intertwined.
In fervent pursuits and moments serene,
In the balance, a life's unseen sheen.

Yet in this fervor, a caution's plea,
To cherish moments, to let hearts be free.
For burning too bright, too fast, too true,
May dim the light, leaving shadows askew.

So let us burn with a steady glow,
In balance and rhythm, a tranquil flow.
Burning candles at both ends, we learn,
To savor life's journey, at every turn.
