Special thanks to John for this contribution to the anthology .

As always there is a lot to think about here .The message behind the mythology etc .

I think regarding new found freedom we have to be careful with what we wish for .Something tantalising can sometimes be proved to be deludingly fatal .

Losing a parent , in this case John's father , can leave one feeling "unbound " and the imagery in John's poem was strong and on point .

Finding oneself afterwards ...becoming adult and mature ,having to find ones feet after loss is not an easy task .

John's "Mesosphere"has pride of place in our Facing Goodbye anthology .
