Behind all falling falling falling

Out spinning off atop of thoughts within my mind

I felt the rocks bust'd by gripping sitting twist'd rags, switches

are thrown upon one fuse at a time ever those

understand it here on a poem, here on a song 

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

unrolling the skies down flowing thru

changes, rolling, feeling resolute, climbing one step

beyond the blues way out there into the blue

I know going up and over all I'm needing now is this new

in lasting words gazing back down pack it up

oh! stars deep how did I know that by recalling

rolling away from within parts in sleeves my belief's dusty a bit

And, did I deny me, might be rusty any places else, what is up

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

although I don't seek them out now 

hot air balloons are propping up lines fed 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

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

going, going, going, before I go on

behind all, falling, falling, falling is instant lost at a time gone

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. God Bless you!

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.
