The changes and additions I made to the original and traditional versions of the poem are shown below in lavender. This was the first high-quality recording of her fantastic voice, and I hope it moves you as deeply as it has the others who have heard it. Holly Phaneuf Erskine, is a college chemistry professor (see her great chemistry site at ), and co-producer of The Emissary movie, and started out as a music major on scholarship. I recorded the guitar, piano and string parts working alone for a few hours, then invited Holly over to sing the vocal. Mohamed of death, convey images to the reader’s head, use figurative language throughout the poem such as metaphors, compare death to other aspects in life, and both. This, along with Holly's tremendous encouragement and feedback, allowed me to finally finish these lyrics and record the song in time for her aunt's memorial service. Mary Elizabeth Frye’s poem Do Not Stand By My Grave And Weep is a very similar poem to Mary Oliver’s poem, When Death Comes. Upon reading the original words attributed to Mary Frye, I found the line I am in each lovely thing, which is omitted in the traditional version. I am not there I do not sleep Creating anatmosphe. Holly's mother sent her an email saying that this poem was her aunt's favorite, and does she know where she could find the complete poem for her memorial service?

There it sat for years until Holly's aunt passed away in the Spring of 2003. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. The original poem, however, does not make a complete song lyric, in my opinion, so I worked a bit on the second stanza, got stuck, and put the song on the back burner. DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there I do not sleep.
