Wings of Insanity

My feelings delight, the wind does blow To towering light, and luminous glow A comforting fulfillment, a lasting shadow Of a vast commitment, was casting shallow Nothing is long lasting, save the suns heat She comforts fasting, where once we weep On the palms of divinity, I hold my peace On the wings of insanity, I wield my wish

One must ask what kept you from writing from the end of October til the beginning of December, Russell? That was a loooong spell for you...I wanted to wish you and your family a most happy Christmas time....Your writing has sure grown exponentially over the past few years and this one is a wonderful expression of how you are feeling! Wow. So expressive and humorous too.

A wish upon the wings of insanity -- an interesting thought and image . . . I wish I knew what it meant?
