Unencumbered of woe

Unencumbered of woe                                                                                   

Holding Meher Baba’s umbrella,
my long legs, tall frame keep pace

as He strides the rough terrain 
of early Meherabad. 

We halt in the middle of a field
and after a long silence He turns,

gestures for me to step nearer,
out of the harsh sun into the circle of shade.

I obey and leave beyond its rim myself,
my quest and all such fearsome bindings;

leave behind the rest of the world. 
No need for anything else

save His Presence, this shelter
beyond attainment, beyond understanding.

O child of God, to trust Meher
is to become unencumbered of woe.
