Play with the Moon: A Collection of New Age Poems

By Lance Lamons

"I love clouds that I can almost touch." This sums up something so grand, something so above us and yet so near we can have the experience now if somehow, we can awaken to it. Weaved in and out of these lines there is a view from up there, an attitude from up there that conveys the aliveness of all things in nature. Nature, and truly all things, are waiting to be companions and friends.

Smiles are the most magical of all things. There is wisdom carried with them when they are sincere. But how do you really convey some idea like that? It is a mystery. My greatest hope is that this book leaves you with a smile that knows God's blessings in all things.

I never wrote these poems of myself but rather they are expressions I received during long periods of quiet. Then I wrote down what I could convey to share with you. There is much hidden, awaiting your surprise. It certainly was a gift given, to which I abound with abundant gratitude.

Lance Lamons

Coming from a small town in southern California he went through high school, the Military and then opened a business that collapsed due to unseen circumstances. After that he made his way into the Corporate Management world and then lived in Hawaii for many years. It was a very normal life with family and friends but along the way something very unusual happened, he met a modern-day mystic that changed his life forever. Poetry and literature seemed to be the last thing that would manifest yet something from within started edging its way to the surface. One day while living in the mountains he was driving in the snow and was stopped by a herd of elk crossing the road that went on and on and on, seemly to never stop. Where did they all come from, he wondered? It seemed to be an endless flow of life. From that point poems and literature began to pour forth and after thirty years of writing it came time share them with the world. When you dip into the cosmos time disappears. Lance is a premonition poet that wrote poems about people and events that were revealed years after the poems were written. His poems reveal everything in life unfolding as it should in its own time. Some poems included both his wife and his father’s passing. Distracted from poetry by the responsibility of the corporate world many of his early poems sat on the shelf collecting dust. After reuniting with his high school sweetheart, she discovered the shelfed poems and blew off the dust and brought to life poetry for Lance again. They sat down and he reread his works and was inspired to begin writing again. All this time I thought Lance was a salt and pepper, left brain executive yet what a beautiful surprise to find an artist and poet.

Introduction

In one of my poems I write, A bully bluish full moon… As one large eye staring. This is my way of conveying feelings that address a presence in the mystery of creation. That presence or mystery is alive and aware in and through everything and therefore that mystery can be touched or connected with. I don’t believe for a moment that this is limited to good experiences or to nature but is possible in all things.

Really, what it comes down to is, can man or woman sense anything without using the body or brain? Is there anything else to life? I believe there is and I believe I have had that experience. But that experience can’t be explained with a few words or even a billion words. However, with words, arrangements, rhythms, drawings, music, voice tones, and other mixtures you can begin to get a hint of what is trying to be conveyed.

This is not just one particular feeling or one experience but rather many that accentuates as one. Yet, that one whole mystery can express itself in a moment of experience. To me poetry is a perfect way to express that feeling of connecting with an invisible presence.

With me poetry begins with silence. An idea comes out of that silence that somehow connects with a hidden feeling I had during some particular experience. I then pick up a pen and without knowing exactly what to say I begin to write. The joy of poetry for me is found in the natural flow of inner dialog that spills forth with unexpected wonder as it forms to become a compete insurgence of idea. Being able to hear words and ideas that lie just beyond the grasp of the mind, that is, without any conjecture or manipulation to instigate the poem, is the beginning of that natural flow. Many times, as the poem begins, I wonder what the body will convey, it’s often a surprise. The end is the greatest because it always catches me off guard; I rarely see it coming.

This is itself an experience of that inner mystery in man. Creativity is an expression of some invisible force because we don’t know where it comes from. But we do know it doesn’t just come from the brain. I’m sure many would argue that point. There are ways of writing poetry without using this method, however, I think it is obvious which poems come out of the depth of the soul.

Some will be able to receive a shared experience through my writings and others will not. So it is, that this book is for those who can. I can only hope that it will inspire others to seek that inner surprise and express it.
