Embossed poem based on ‘Buoyancy’, a poem by 13th Century poet Rumi. It encapsulates the spirit of Rumi’s Sufi mysticism, particularly his ideas about the soul’s union with the Beloved, the concept of annihilation in the divine presence, and the paradoxical beauty of emptiness and existence:

 

In the existence of your love I become non existent

this non existence I linked to you is better than all existence

I saw you and became empty

this emptiness, more beautiful than existence, dissolves existence

and yet when it comes existence thrives.
