Light

You won't be able to catch it
It will disappear before you can touch
But you will still want to check what is left
It is just a gust of wind

You won't be able to see it 
It enjoys to play hide and seek
Once you think you have caught a glimpse
It is just a shadow of the moonlight

You won't be able to recall it
It will be taken away by a messenger called time
Once the time past
It will leave you a mind full of confusion

It is the simplest word to utter
It is the sweetest piece to taste
It is the hardest treasure to keep
It is the sharpest sound to hear






Analysis
The word "it" in this poem implies love. Therefore, the poem is about how dynamic and untraceable love could be. There are four quatrains in this poem. Each of them is categorizing the characteristics  of love. This poem features personification in that love itself can not disappear or enjoys playing hide and seek; it is the people who fall in love do so. By using the personification, the writer is able to give the object or feeling-love human qualities. Also, in the line"It is just a gust of wind", it features the usage of metaphor.
