It is a literary device. See explanation.

Explanation:

A personification is a literary device. It means to give human fatures (or activities) to non human or abstract things.

For example:

The wind was gently whispering in the trees

This sentence gives a non human thing (i.e. wind) a purely human ability to speak (or whisper), so it is an example of personification.
