The Secret of Consciousness

Sohrab Sepehri's poem "Hich Cheshmi, Asheghaneh be Zamin Khire Nabud" (No Eye, Lovingly Fixed on Earth) is a lyrical work that employs natural imagery, particularly trees, to explore themes of death and life. The poem draws on mystical traditions, invoking Rumi's spiritual philosophy, and uses the metaphor of trees as earthly creatures communicating divine secrets through their green language and earthen forms. Sepehri's verse meditates on the relationship between mortality and existence through nature's silent eloquence.
