Synopsis

O Seeing, Sing to Me is a contemplative poetry collection rooted in personal spiritual practice and direct experience of the sacred. It is Christopher's second book of poetry and while it continues in the spirit of Time Tendrils, this collection focuses more strongly upon the universal and immediate quality of awakening that is open to all in every moment.

Moving through silence and song, self and other, Earth and space, these poems paint a gentle arc of awakening—where attention turns inward and discovers no distinction between external and internal experiences.

This is not a book to be hurried through. It is meant to be opened slowly, entered anywhere, and returned to often. The poems do not argue for belief or doctrine; they rest in awareness itself—where light, love, and presence are not ideas, but lived realities.

For readers drawn to contemplative poetry, meditation, and non-dual simplicity, O Seeing, Sing to Me offers a gentle space of stillness, reverence, and recognition—where what has always been present quietly reveals itself.

A Look Inside:

were it so

were sleep a worship
let me lie unconscious
in the dreamless state

were dreaming a service
let me dream of your keep
where wine runneth over

were waking a darshan
let your sunlight awake me
into the infancy of this living

and so all these are truths
and boundless more too
this mystery beyond our kinship

in everything and yet not a thing
everybody but not itself a body
ever aware and yet not of thought

spacious and universal but intimate
fully present in the smallest part
unknowable, it knows all, is all

our lovers and our children
the planet and the cosmos
our inner children, laughing, free

the dearest memories
the sweetest reunions
the joyful playful soul

bliss drenched, I know thee
broken and nothing, I see thee
I am dust and you are dust

together, apart, near, far
all as one, all as not one,
indestructibly and completely of Love
