2 B 8T4

2 B 8T4

In the indolent but idealistic days of careless youth.

Blissfully toyed with the idea of picking a number.

A singular number to characterize the life I live.

Choosing from the finite menu of 10 picked 8.

Which when written on its side spelled infinity.

Symbolizing never-ending existence in time.

And in this newest milestone, we find alignment.

First comes the 8 followed by the second number.

With 4 added to itself gives us the same 8.

The immortality of our soul guarantees infinity.

Add our being the image and likeness of Him.

And we have a desirable bonus to reckon with.

 Beyond the confines of our temporal existence

We aim higher in keeping with sacred covenant.

 To imitate His Son uniquely both God and Man.

We establish necessary premises we can unravel.

Keeping in mind the innate duality of our existence.

And the eternal bond between Creator and Creature.

 

Our Immortality as simply faint shadow of Eternity.

This we accept 'cause humanity exists in temporal time.

But then our immortal soul transcends human construct.

Our Creator exists beyond the human concept of time.

His entire creation exists in His Mind for eternity.

Included also would thus be the very soul we have.

We can then proceed on ways to imitate our Creator.

Without constraint He so loved that creation came to be.

Though all creation is eternally present in God's mind.

The eternal selflessness of the divine Triune God.

Incarnated in the example of Christ's earthly life.

Is necessarily the mystical model that we follow.
