Homa is a mythical bird from Iranian legends and fables and continues as a common motif in Sufi and Diwan poetry. Although there are many legends of the creature, common to all is that the bird is said never to land on the ground, and instead to live its entire life flying invisibly high above the earth. It is a caring creature and a symbol of happiness, strength, and generosity.
