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.
