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.

Yes, you are able to handle things on your own. But God forbid, if anything was to happen to you or lets say, your wife....something drastic... irreversible, probably like an accident or a serious illness..... how long will you be able to hold on. I'd say as long as you have all the cash in your pocket that you need. And after that?

What about your peace of mind, and say things like guilt and remorse for not foreseeing things, feelings like this that might crop up..... how would you handle that. I don't think it would go very well with you. No man can handle stress under sever conditions and a human being is not made to handle extreme and sever pressure. Ther's a limit to everything. Even if you were to go on a long course of anti depressants and mood lifters you will not be able to hold on. Just because you have a rosy picture set for you, or that you have probably set, that doesn't mean that its a surety for future happiness. Think about it.

P.S. I really enjoy these sharings. Hope you do too. After my last post up there, my husband and I had a strong discussion on this, quite contradictory opinions.... and now to return,.... I have a bone to pick with him also.
