Abstract
This article aims to conduct a semiotic analysis of the poem The Sound of Water's Footsteps and its impact on a deeper understanding of contemporary Persian literature. The central research question explores how semiotic elements in this poem contribute to interpreting deeper meanings and what relationships exist between signs and human experiences within the text. To address this, Michael Riffaterre's exploratory reading method serves as the primary theoretical framework. The findings reveal that Sohrab Sepehri, by utilizing natural signs and human experiences, establishes a profound and reciprocal connection between humans and nature. This bond is evident not only on the semantic level but also in the underlying layers of the poem. Moreover, by analyzing elements such as colors, sounds, and emotions, this study seeks to provide a clearer understanding of the poem's structure and its connection to everyday life. Ultimately, this research offers a more precise insight into the role of signs in literature and the unique power of Sepehri's poetry in reflecting human experiences, paving the way for further studies in this field.
