Transient means temporary or continuing only for a short period. According to the poet, transient means 'short span of her mother's life.' The poet actually means that all human beings have short span of life on earth; after death no one knows what happens to human soul. The poet is unable to unravel this mystery.

Transient is another word for short, brief, temporary and short lived. Therefore, the poet relates the word transient to the nature of life. 

That is life on this planet in its own self is also temporary and a person is unaware of the fact that how long will he or she be living. In addition to the span of life that is transient in nature, the events that take place in our life are also short. For example a person cannot be happy or sad all the time. Therefore, happiness and sadness is also temporary and goes on with life.
