Falling (Free verse) by Lifeboatman
Slipping from the edge,
I wander along sun-shone landscapes
Noticing that there is no better tour
Than a drop 26,000 feet above
Perceiving the value of perspective
More than anything else
I've often wondered what lies
At the end of falling,
If the landing would really hurt
And if one will taste the saltness
Of one's blood inside the mouth
Before pain settles in
Like before, I never got to know
All I found out is how own's head
Throbs when one falls head first
From the top of a bunker bed
