A Letter to a Silent Lover

Dearest beloved.

Imagine a city without lights.

Imagine a train without passengers.

Imagine a rose without color.

Imagine a library without books.

Imagine a watch without numbers.

Imagine a well without water.

Imagine a dervish in the desert.

Imagine a piano in the sea.

Imagine a fish in a bottle.

Imagine Chuang Tzu's butterfly in the rain.

Imagine a nightingale in a compass.

Imagine Zuleikha in a mirror.

Imagine, my love, imagine.

And you shall find me in your dreams.
