7
a biography in free verse
I am Seven.
Siete, saba
tepgn, seacht
The number of
completion. Momma’s
wash belly child.
The last, the final.
Seven is perfection,
or at least its pursuit.
Divine intervention
on the road to theosis.
The path to transformation,
to communion, to union
with the Almighty and
the many; brothers,
sisters, in spirit and
in truth. Together, whole.
I am the three plus four;
spiritual and material conjoined.
I am prime.
I am Pythagorean.
I am music in scale.
I am a servant of God
I am Seven.

“I am a servant of God” I love this poem so much. It leaves me feeling whole and complete!
I am 4 of seven...how many get the wash belly reference, I know not. The wash belly seem to have it the easiest, the onus of responsibility falling on the first through (number depending on personalities). As four I had it rough. But I am glad you count yourself divine. Seven
Congratulations on top story :)
Beautiful poem and congrats on the Top Story!
Hey Seven, I am One, but I have Seven Half's that give me Zero. You are so brilliant!
Finally, an interesting integer gets to speak for itself!
Nice work =). Simple but powerful.
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Wow! Powerful writing, and a brilliant theme! Well done, Randy and congratulations!
Oh my goodness, I'm going back for thirds after hitting "comment." The way you weave in the biblical significance of the number 7, making theosis the central theme (and literally the middle of the poem, too)....Just superb writing. I'd have to dissect this in an essay to get out all my thoughts. Well done, sir, this is truly something to be proud of.
Well done, I canot offer up any opinion, this is beyond my capabilities to give a comment other then to say I loved the words you chose and was some how hypnotized when I read this. Congratualtions
This really caught my attention - congrats on your top story
Bravo! Your hard work is paying off—keep it up, congratulations!
Congrats on Top Story!
Nicely done! Congrats on the TS
Ethereally numerological. Beautiful. I love the off-beat, as you may know, and this nails it so cleverly and cosmically. Congrats.
I read this the other day and failed to comment, but back now to say congrats on top story! I appreciated how well you used an economy of words :) Great stuff.
Portuguese: Sete This was very well done!
I am seven too hehehehehe! Loved your poem!
Impressive 🤩
Sieben! Septem! Saith! I feel like I am casting a spell 😁 I am #6, which is arguably much less cool. This made me think of Septimus in Stardust 😁
Beautiful! I wonder wich languages did you use in the first lines😅
Enjoyed it. Well done!
Whoa!!! That was deep And felt very transformative.
