The themes of this poem include youth and adolescence. It also touches on the sexuality of Mistral because it was believed that she may have been gay. This made her extremely controversial. Knowing someone's sexuality is not important me but I do think it is important depending on the time period. Because in certain time periods homosexuals were disregarded and if Mistral were an open homosexual and still composed her work it shows a lot of strength. I think it also shows many of the reasons she possibly made and why. Sexuality should not determine who you are or what is your image is to other people, but I do believe it plays a part in how you feel as a person. More of a sense of pride. Her poems make is hard to understand but his sexuality may help to explain it. Ultimately only Mistral knows. Meciendo hits on the themes of adolescence, peace, and purpose.
