WILLIAMSJI MAVELI WRITES A POEM ANALYSIS

Poem Analysis 
MY CHILD
Cry not my child
When I am no more
Into the mud where I perish
From it the bloom shall grow
The wind shall carry my signature scent
Identity it with your soul
It will cling with you for lifetime
Through my love, teachings and thoughts
In you, through you I will live once more
REVIEW:
The poem, titled "My Child," written by Aditi Rana Jammal from her second book of poetry, "Feathers of Emotion," is a poignant exploration of the enduring nature of love and the continuity of life even after the physical presence is no more. The poem delicately addresses the theme of mortality, offering solace and reassurance to the child who is left behind.
Title and Opening Lines "My Child" immediately establishes a personal and intimate connection between the poet and the addressed child. The opening line, "Cry not my child," sets the tone for the entire poem, expressing a desire to alleviate the child's sorrow and fear of loss.
The poem employs vivid nature imagery to convey the cyclical nature of life. The metaphor of the speaker's physical form returning to the mud suggests a connection to the earth, emphasizing the inevitable cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The mention of a bloom growing from the mud symbolizes the potential for beauty and growth to emerge even in the face of death.
The wind carrying the speaker's signature scent becomes a powerful metaphor for the enduring essence of the departed. This scent is not merely a fragrance but a symbol of the speaker's identity, something to be recognized and embraced by the child's soul. It suggests a spiritual connection that transcends the physical realm.
The poem asserts that the poet's influence will cling to the child for a lifetime. This influence is not only through the memories of love but also through the teachings and thoughts imparted during the poet's lifetime. The lasting impact extends beyond the physical presence, emphasizing the idea that a person's legacy lives on through the lives they touch.
The notion that the poet will live once more in the child is a powerful theme. The child becomes a vessel through which the poet is reborn, experiencing a new life through the continuation of their love and wisdom. It echoes the idea that our essence lives on through the impact we have on others. Congratulations dear Poet Aditi Rana Jammal.
