Numbers In Heaven (Free verse) by Dovina

My name is 183, one of myriad, born in heaven, nestled eternally between two evens, and called, with affection, odd. Some of us are prime, numbers so perfect they were flung to distant worlds, if maybe there, their beauty too might be beheld. I take delight in knowing I am certain, fixed and real, never to be forsaken or replaced, unique, useful, unmatched and unmatchable. Pregnant with potential in Platonic minds, we odds alone, save the chosen 2, titillate their senses. Sometimes in anxious moments, Senses failing, in the wonder of it all, I feel an urgent sadness, imagine myself a figment of their god-like minds, a bipolar disturbance, perhaps a mere conveyance, no more than an assertion, a useful word. Then I feel contrived by them for pleasure and convenience, lovely only in their minds. But as the notion passes, I rest in heavenly peace, unequaled and real, fixed and founded, uniquely placed by God.

Zodiac, man is just the product of God's handiwork. God has not made man God. But in creating man, He was merely being adventurous in giving 'man' freedom to think and act (i'm not saying 'act wisely'). So man begins his quest to dominate the world thinking that everything is his own and can be done on his own, yet he doesn't realize that he is only a very very minor part of the divine jigsaw puzzle which will in time wrap up together beautifully. Yet 'man' thinks that he is the only piece in the puzzle and that he is in control of it all.

As for God amking good people and bad..... he doesn't. He gives you the choice to be good or bad, to believe in him or not. When it please you, you will say I did so and so to achieve this or that, ie. when good things come your way and you succeed in your life or profession, .... But when it's bad.... it's ' God made bad things happen. How else could it come about?' He doesn't make good or bad. we make it good or bad. And Gandhiji chose to do good rather than 'bad'. So can you.
