I love the tone of this, you've perfectly captured the acceptance and yet the reverence of death.

as the writer learns to emphasize so much in so little, i will review this astonishing epitaph in one word: breathtaking.

Oh, /nice/. Such cool images, and the rhythm works perfectly, especially in that last line - stresses exactly the right words. I'd try and pick out what I like best, only this is all just - small, but beautifully formed, I think? and I'm just noticing how the second and fourth couplets sort of mirror each other, which is very cool. I'd only maybe see if there was anything doable about "spot"? Hmm. Would be totally horrible to change, because that's the only word I can think of that rhymes and fits the metre; generally I'd say that the rest of the poem is good enough to leave it if it'd mean changing the rest too much, because the rest totally does cancel it out.
