Trees
Jeez
I can’t get any inspiration from writing about leaves
Flowers
With the power to inspire others to put pen to paper
Nature
Unable to provide a source creativity or metaphor
Therefore
I stare out the window with inquisitive eyes
Skies
Above
Provide no urge to write about the absence of clouds
Or houseplants
Dancing branches in the wind blowing a chill cold enough
To envy a bear finding a cave to hibernate from the winter gloom
Soon
The face of nature will change from scours and showers
To a spring full of life and colour
Another opportunity to write something about our natural mother

Take this coin and hold it tightly in your hand
Carefully and deeply contemplate a wish you would like to see granted
A desire for peace in a world becoming more violent as each day passes
A request for good health to accompany you on lives journey
A wish loved ones karma allows for long and joyful lives to be lived
You may choose to put value on materialistic objects
To bring joy and happiness
Realising this to be a decision made by the futility of youth
So delve deep inside to find something which is really worth wishing for
Toss the coin into the water heads you win tails you lose
