2 Art Creation: Poetry The creative work explores the deep connection between art and inspiration. Taking inspiration from Mary Elizabeth Frye's timeless poem "Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep," this paper embarks on a journey to craft a new artistic creation. Specifically, it will manifest as a poem inspired by Frye's verses. Through artistic expressions, the objective is to capture the essence of the original poem, delving into themes of transience, memory, and the lasting impact of life. As a result, it contemplates the relationship between our creative endeavors and the wellspring of inspiration, revealing thematic intersections, parallels, distinctions, and how the medium shapes the viewer's encounter with the art. Inspiration piece Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. By Mary Elizabeth Frye, (1932) Baltimore, MD Mary Elizabeth Frye's poem "Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep" stands as a classic work of American poetry renowned for its profound and consoling message regarding the enduring essence of the human spirit. Composed in 1932 during her visit with Margaret

3 Schwarzkopf, a young Jewish woman unable to visit her ailing mother in Germany due to political circumstances, Frye crafted this poem to offer solace and hope to Margaret (Frye, 1932). The poem beautifully captures the notion that those who have passed on remain present within the beauty of the natural world. Over time, it has gained widespread acclaim for its themes of transcendence, immortality, and the continuity of life beyond death. My artistic piece A Miracle Culminating in Adversity Time has passed, memories have been made, but everything fades away. Longing for happiness, Desiring the humor, The photographs taken are all that are left. Life is not long. But has life ever transpired so quickly? that you find yourself thinking back on specific times those have vanished already? If my memory serves me well, If they have any significance, The errors I've committed that make me feel so heavy-lifted. In order for the day to come, Tragic events could be the end of life, and be told as though it were an unbelievable tale. The piece explores the idea of life's transient nature as well as the significant influence that memories and experiences have on our path through it. While writing this poem, I thought of the paradox of life—that even though there are times when life is happy and joyful, eventually time passes and feelings of loss and longing set in. The idea that life, with all of its ups and downs, may be compared to an amazing yet unpredictable journey that ends with an unexpected

4 turn or unanticipated occurrences is captured in the title alone. The poem examines how human existence is temporary and how change is inevitable. It talks about how important it is to treasure moments and memories even though they might someday go, much like a fading picture in a life album. My artistic endeavor is to elicit contemplation on the importance and transience of life by drawing a contrast between happy recollections from the past and an unclear and maybe difficult future. Connection A common topic between my poem and Frye's is the investigation of the paradoxical nature of existence, the transience of life, and the enduring power of memory. Both poems recognize how ephemeral life is (Martin & Jacobus, 2018). To emphasize continuity, Frye's poem implies that the deceased become a part of the natural environment. On the other hand, "A Miracle Culminating in Adversity" uses time and the progressive fading of memories to illustrate how fleeting life is. My poem adopts a more reflective and introspective stance, acknowledging the nuances of life's transitory moments, in contrast to Mary Frye's poetry, which provides comfort and confidence by depicting the deceased as persisting in numerous ways. Poems use poetry as a method to express their ideas (Martin & Jacobus, 2018). Frye's poem uses language's beauty and evocative force to eloquently portray continuity and comfort, giving readers a sense of warmth and connection. However, "A Miracle Culminating in Adversity" invites readers to consider the intricacies of life and the emotional journey we all go through as time goes on by using poetry to promote reflection and introspection about life's impermanence.
