Personification: Poem

  

Personification: Poem

I.

Once, a young stream

Had asked the old river

A question of personal extreme:

How to reach

The running sea?

The river said, it is not easy

For a tiny human body.

It takes a thorny way

To complete the journey,

To stay on course

With a personal compass

As liquids flow freely

Inside and through us

 To pass.

II.

Life’s first form

As a single cell

Observed the oxygen

Excreted the carbon waist

From metabolism and salty tears

Back into Earth’s waters.

It is a lifecycle’s pathway accessibility

That runs with wise suitability.

The sweat, the blood, and happy swimmers

Make up my body of water and liquids.

Every river becomes an ocean

As my tiny body grows

By letting go

Tears as salty as ocean.

III.

The body’s river

Has an old-aged mirror

Leading to the Earth’s water.

Through time, the link becomes

A blue sea too.
