Colorado

I had a vision
I saw the world change and it has been so long.
Upon reflection
I saw the roses
Springing up from my arms,
And drawn all over,
As with a paintbrush,
I was a picture of a creature unborn and unimagined.

The eyes oh the eyes
Were as bright as the sum of the sols.
Projecting our sins in their song
They prey for us the chosen ones.
Close your eyes and shield the pain
For demons are we,
Told as we inform.

Turn now.
Add life to your hour,
And like the grass of the fields dress you, self, in flowering arms.
Y Colorin’ Colorado
I turned into a mother—
Earth.

There's exuberant life throughout this but one or two things that are either typos or that aren't clear to me:


Colorado

I had a vision
I saw the world change and it has been so long.
Upon reflection
I saw the roses
Springing up from my arms,
And drawn all over,
As with a paintbrush,
I was a picture of a creature unborn and unimagined.

The eyes oh the eyes
Were as bright as the sum of the sols.
Projecting our sins in their song
They preyshouldn't this be "pray"? for us the chosen ones.
Close your eyes and shield the pain
For demons are we,
Told as we inform. I don't understand this

Turn now.
Add life to your hour,
And like the grass of the fields dress you, self,yourself? in flowering arms.
Y Colorin’ don't understand Y Coloriin'Colorado
I turned into a mother—
Earth.

But as I said to begin with, lots of energy in it!

"I turned into a Mother -
Earth"

these last lines were to me the strongest, though I loved your poem throughout! yes, a visionary poem..
