vulnerable loving heart, it really does tell the wildness and vast

> Written for Oasis ~ Jan. 9th. 2009  on his 70th B-day (his B-day is 7th) ~
> Presented at his Living Memorial gathering at the Caspar Community Center

>  ~~~This is a poem about a Wild lover man poet I know ~~~ The first time I
> laid eyes on him he was dancing and I recognized the genuine article
> embodied in his fullness ~~ the hat was the tip off and like spots on a
> Leopard or stripes of a Zebra or the long neck of a Giraffe or the mane
> of a Lion  ~~ this was the real article ~~ only this Wildman was a man on
> the prowl for Love ~~~ the way love seeks it's self ~ out in the open
> with nothing to hide ~ nothing to be ashamed of ~ guiltless as the
> Archetype it's self ~ full of love's presence for anyone who dares to
> dance the dance of Love ~This is a dangerous cat~! And the danger was in
> loosing one's self on the dance floor of life ~~  This wild man called to
> the wild man in me ~~~~ to dance and sing, play music, read poetry or
> simply to express in any form through any channel of loves expression~.
> I loved this wild man when he first showed up but I watched for a while
> in the way the curious do ~~~ from the side lines checking him out to see
> if I was safe being me, like he was being him ~ the concern of course had
> to do with sanity~ my God I could loose my self in Love and what would
> become of me~? I,I,I, might become like him... or was that OK~?  This
> wild man of love showed up so often and in so many true and authentic
> ways and spread so much of the magic of love and Self-expression around
> that eventually I realized the entire community was infected and others
> were doing the same and so was I~~.
>
> I became friends with Love's presence and the wild man in me and that wild
> guy with the unusual hat ~~~~ Once we took a trip far into the woods
> together and we went way deep into the forest of the Mystery ~~~ After a
> long night of soul searching and communing with elements of nature we
> started out heading back home to the Coast ~ the road was foggy and hard
> to follow but by now I had learned to trust my instinct and my inner sense
> of direction ~ together in the Mystery of the wild we had come to the edge
> of the earth we had  jumped into the Great Mystery together ~ and now…
> I wear a hat~~~~~.
