FICTIONAL ADAPTATION: CHOSEN SONNET

When looking through the Sonnets, I found a lot of them slightly confusing and didn't understand many of them. However, the second sonnet, by Mary Elizabeth Frye, stood out and interested me. The sonnet is:

"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 circling flight.

I am the soft starshine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry:

I am not there; I did not die."

What I like about this sonnet is that I can't tell if the Writer is trying to tell us that the person this is about is dead, or simply invisible to the world. In fact, it might not even be a person. This could be a long metaphor for life itself. The Writer's imagination really works here and you see that she is saying, whoever or whatever this sonnet is about, is everywhere, is everything. You can almost imagine that it could be a spirit of someone but I feel this because the only like repeated in the entire sonnet is "Do not stand at my grave" which would make you think that someone has died.
I think the writer intended to make the reader think as I am, that this is about someone who has died but that after death there isn't nothing, we are everywhere. We don't die but simply move on. In life this person could have been happy and out going, now in death they has the diamonds glints on the snow, the soft starshine at night. In death, you do not die but become one with the world. With this as well, it's almost like the writer wants the reader to look at death in another light, that it isn't a sad and heart breaking event like we all look at it.

How I could achieve this visually is a difficult task. However, the idea I'm getting with this sonnet is to have a character who has died, but have them reflecting on their life and the people they loved. I feel having this and using the lines as reference to make scenes could work well. For example:
"I am the thousand winds that blow" I could put the character at a concert and have them singing to reference towards that and have the idea that her music will always be alive and so will they.

For visual reference, I looked into an old episode of the BBC TV Series "Torchwood" which had this sort of theme for an episode where a man called Eugene died but because he had an Alien eye, he was able to linger as a ghost for a few days and learn the truth about his death.  No one could see him, hear him or even know he was there. Below is a photo of him with the character Gwen where he is talking to her but she doesn't even know he's next to her.

This is the sort of idea I would want to go with, but going with the old theory of a 'wondering spirit', although I couldn't find any visual reference to explain what I mean here so I went with the 1990 Film 'Ghost' where the main character dies and becomes and ghost and protects the woman he loves. Below is a photo which is that he can see her, hear her but she's can't with him since he's a ghost but he follows and protects here.

I like the idea of using this sonnet and making it so it's actually a person wondering and showing that they aren't unhappy about what happened to them and they're looking back on everything.
