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.

Those times would be the best years of your life... not fatalistic or unfortunate. What I'm trying to say is that it's not a loved one's death that's the ultimate, that we have to take into account.... but life's situations. There's so many situations in life where we reach a dead end. Why I am so strong on my point is that I have tested scripture passages... and have asked my self why, how .. is it true, etc. And one instance where I've tested it was on the passage "Give and it will come backed to you. Pressed down shaken together and running over, when you give to the Lord." and I've tried to give.... some of the little cash I had on me (I don't work and one person's salary isn't enough for a four member family)... and within 24 hrs.... somebody sent me more than double the amount for no reason...a gift. So I gave more money to the church and then about Aust$ 150.00 was sent to me by another relative as a gift, within a few days. Till then there had been no gift sent from this sourse by way of cash. I've found this a very useful way of getting through... ie. by testing the scriptures and knowing for myself that its true. And at times one just has to be patient knowing that all things work for good to those that love the Lord. It pays off with the immediate grace of peace and a blissful sleep despite the storms.
