Blossoming Camellia

• Artist: Ammiel Azarel
• Description: A poem about a Camellia having no fragrance. It's a poem about a deep rooted myth. Camellia's however, do have a smell but it's hard to trace even for those with a keen sense of smell.

Camellia blossom a flower without fragrance
No alluring smell to trace
No enticing beauty to behold with grace
A humdrum flower without elegance

White-washed flower seemingly meek and bleak
No sudden hint of a scent to permeate the air
No colors to tint its petals in awe-aspiring flair
White-washed flower, blossom and reach your peak

Brimmed with a touch of tenderness it grows despite the dim
A trifle of a flower, laden in sun silken rays
Emitting showers defeating stark barren days
When your petals scatter, it is tragic and grim

Remaining silent and still in birth and in death
A camellia fleetingly decays never losing its vigor
A camellia is reborn enduring natures rigors
Overlooked and overshadowed I realize it does have a breath
