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.

I really enjoyed reading the discussions between you guys Al and Ranger. If you want to define love there's no better definition than this..."Love is patient, kind, NEVER proud or envious, slow to anger, NEVER rude, never keeps account of wrong, does not delight in evil, but always rejoices in the truth, sacrifices, always gives, perseveres and NEVER fails."

A lot of ideas have come to my mind on reading your discussion.... but I think I will start from here.

When ever somthing gets uneasy in my life or my relationships with people go topsy turvy, I reflect upon this and see if love has really been there, or whether I have made an effort to keep it ablaze. Romeo and Juliet is just an example of probably sacrifice.... but in my opinion I'd call it more like selfish love, not selfless love. From this play you get and idea or a picture of what love probably is, but to experience and know it for real, one has to put all the ingredients (mentioned in the definition) together and let it flow.
