As The Sky Does In Water | Rumi Poem

This poem by Rumi reflects on the silent meeting of spirit and form, where the unseen reveals itself within the seen. Like the sky mirrored in still water, awareness appears when the surface of thought becomes still.

Mawlana Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi, popularly known as "Rumi", is a 13th-century Sufi poet. Today, he is recognised as one of the greatest poets who ever lived, due in part to how his words seem to speak to the Divine.
