>>  ~~~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~~~~~.
