Robertina B. Poet Personification

Race Against Time

A race against time ..
As her life is faced with challenges..
A tragic loss of a loved one ..
Grief strikes her like a hot iron..
The pain intensifies as it shoots through her heart..
Paralyzed in mourning..
Feeling trapped inside a frozen tundra..

A race against time..
As she rushes to escape her sorrow..
She imagines Serenity..
Peace floating through her..

As she races against time..
Grief striken tears are shed..
As her eyes are blinded by pain..
In a moment of silence..
She prays for strength..
Seeking for courage to carry on..

She races in a new direction..
Where her heart is healed..
Where she no longer carries a torch of pain..

She walks in nature..
Song birds sing in tune of the wind..
Softly..
The wind cries her name  ..
Joyful cries become music to her ears..

In a moment of silence..
She glows..
As the inner light inside her shines brightly..
Her prayers have been answered..
