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.

But all you're really experiencing is a chemical cocktail in your body. "love" itself is just a word you use to represent it. Saying you don't know about love if you haven't loved is like saying you don't know about lions if you haven't been a lion. Sure you're likely to know lions better if you've been one but you can know enough about them while never being one to say for instance "I know they are an impressive creature". I'm not saying you can know everthing about love by reading Shakespeare but you also won't likely know everything about love by being in love either. The fact that you're saying that things like love and unicorns can't be believed in without direct experience leads me to believe that you really don't believe in God - or did you experience him directly?
