Camellias By: Stan K. Sujka

Camellia colors carnival

Lipstick red, cotton candy pink,

Eucharist wafer white

Salmon jumping procession

Among sun shadows of green

Bloom in the sacred southern soil

Enthralled by spectacle of flowers

Angels descend from heaven to

This earthy church

They dance among the blooms

Dizzy with love

Thanking Papa God for this

Heavenly bouquet
