The only one in the room

The only one in the room                                                                                     

In Your presence (and in their memory)
often they would say

You were the only one in the room.
Even Eruch (or some other) interpreting

your gestures or reading the board
became a disembodied voice

as they beheld You –
the essence of Love and Truth,

the only one in the room.
These latter days when we

are alone together so often,
let it be my meditation

to dwell upon You
until You are once more

the only one in the room,
leaving this illusory life,

myself and all the insistent,
suffering world behind.

O child of God, within and without, Meher said,
present and past, existent or imagined, God alone is real.
