Swirled about by the March wind
Drifting like pink snow.

Sober for five years
I have got my marbles back…
Now to play with them.
Based on the old AA saying, “It takes five years to get back your marbles, and ten years to learn to play with them again.”

A blur of bright wings
Whirring over a rose hedge

Meeting over the meadow
Whirl into a dance.

For a ladybug.
