The Gift

At midday,
My mind was flooded
With different thoughts.
After much thinking,
I sighed and said to myself;
When single,
You are at a valley of indecision
All you see are pretty boxes
Beautifully wrapped
In different blinding colours
In different shapes and size.
So many appeals to you
And you’ve been instructed to pick one
Not just anyone
But the right one.
You can shake
You can feel
But
you can’t open just yet.
The moment you’ve picked the right box,
You can open and see
What’s been wrapped up all for you.
The funny thing is,
It’s a never ending box.
Almost like a Pandora’s box.
Aren’t we all gifts
wrapped up in colorful ribbons
Waiting to be unwrapped someday?
Aren’t we all beautiful boxes
Waiting to be opened
And wanting to be discovered piece by piece?

Estée ✨

Dreams

Are dreams always my imaginations?
Or they just come spontaneously?

Most nights I can’t wait to dream.
It feels like I’m in another world
Sometimes perfect
Sometimes not perfect

It’s like an escape for me
But then I get interrupted
Because reality sets in
Then I have to continue in the real world.

I eventually leave fantasy world alone
Where my dreams seem to come true.

But those dreams are sometimes
What I imagine.
Of course God tells me
And shows me what He will do
He warns me ahead
Like a road map for me.

Are my imaginations my desire?
Are my desires what God actually wants for me?

I live in two worlds
The real world and my blissful world
I’m so lucky, very lucky
I’ve got the best of both worlds

In the blissful world I have,
A lot of good memories I savour
And would love to have them in real life,
If God so permits.

But if it’s just a mere imagination
Let it be then.
Only God’s plan for me shall stand
Because at the end His ways are not my ways
Neither His thoughts my thoughts.

He has good thoughts for me and not of evil
And no matter how much I imagine and dream about them,
He is able to do exceedingly above all I can think or imagine in my wildest dreams.

Estée ✨
