Daydream Defiance

Here I will sit to revel a bit

In stubborn defiance

My lavender dream

Will fill the chill in a purple-blue thrill

Drenching my thought

With sweet summer-requiem

Here on this bench fond memories drench

Winter’s bold bluff

With sunflower guile

While ice-petal wrath sweeps my garden path

I hear the echo

Of bare feet and I smile
