Hello, Weiran, I have different point of views from you. My interpretation is that this poem wants to tell people about the feeling of a parent seeing his child growing up, and one day leaving him. I know this as he wrote "like a winged seed loosened from a parent stem". He was very sad to see his child leave him, as he wrote "that hesitant figure, eddying away", shows that he is not willing to let go.
