Sublimity Paul Shapera

Mary:
Theres a luminescent string so fragile
From a butterfly's frail wings
Made of random links and numbers
So tiny you can't see

That string leads to the rise of
Giant empires not yet dreamed
If you catch just one glimpse of it
Its beauty makes you weep

A child spirit wanders rainstorms
Dancing in them like they're mad
If you find them and embrace them
They bestow on you a laugh

There's a lesser known equation
Where x is your delight
And y is innocence
And it proves they both were right

And all the wonder
All the wonder you can see
Sublimity

I've seen my share of horror
More than most you know
I know the weight of pain
That feels like more than you can hold
