Prayer To Layla Poem by Jalal Sunstrum

O thou who hast changed my life
I gather at this moment pearls
on the threshold of Eternity
to undergo the way to the Absolute Reality

ideas flow through the behest of your Will
with love and tenderness.
as I write by the Rivers of Bestowal,
my pen halts in front of the Mighty Castle
of Your Majesty
therefore
I ask of thee to show me the path to Rightness
as I do my best, sinner as I am, to plunder
the Ocean of Your Beahests every day and night
in the beahive of the Lords Handiwork
therefore
I render thanksgiving at all times for all the tribulations
that render possible Your guidance towards
your Absolute Reality
your Treasured Might

O Layla, O Layla!

Your love surpasses all loves...
