Behind all falling falling falling

Out spinning off atop of thoughts within my mind

I felt the rocks bust'd at gripping all hard twist'd rags switches

O! picks mirth

are thrown upon one fuse at a-time ever those contains

understands it here on a poem, here a-song 

I can't attend ye ole grand opening out of a-thunder storm moves

onto unrolling the skies down flowing thru

changes, rolling, feeling resolute, climbing one step

beholds the blues way out there into the blue

I know going up and over all I'm needing now is this couldn't it

in lasting words gazing back down pack it up

O! stars deep how did I know that by recalling merit

rolling away from within parts in sleeves looks believes dusty a-bit nightly sweeps

And, did I deny me, it might be rusty any places else, what's up

l swam & rode down

behind all, falling, falling, falling, in a cloud 

although I don't seek them out now 

hot air balloons are propping up lines fled the clothesline pole 

flying wet sheets sudden lightning each warm flash can

lights, stirs something tonight is running

appearing whenever we will feel for that ever, I

after all trying for more aware I do now compare, unprepar'd

going, going, going, before I go on rings behind all

falling, falling, falling instant lost time's gone in green eyes a-drift dropping pictures in morning of rain in amidst of sunshine.

Your poem, Falling........., is a very thought provoking list of life responses to various challenges? I found it inspiring and could identify with the emotion and response to things that a human being could encounter which they may not understand or are hurtful. This was refreshing and really fun.

This is an interesting poem....... I am having difficulty with its structure and lack of sentencing and punctuation, nevertheless there is a series of unique images flowing throughout the poem. It has the style and feel of an oldtime poem, something that would predate the 20th century, a period of great poets and poetry. For this reason i can imagine some people would not be able to fully grasp its meaning and theme. Still, i quite enjoyed the language and images, even though i am not really a fan of free verse.
