Until then

Against our will
spins on the mill,
with gold we fill
our times or spill.
In health, in ill
in pain, in thrill,
we cry, we trill
till fits the bill,
then comes the will
to solemnly still
to solemnly still.

as i mentioned to Greg i8t is pretty tough to maintain the aaaaaa...rhyme sequence through and through....nicely done..an epitaph is about someone dead...i couldn't understand how this poem connects to that meaning...please excuse my ignorance

Maybe I'm wrong. I thought an epitaph is something we write on the tomb that shows someone beliefs.
Let me check.

Don't know if you read the last few words
Much appreciate the visit.

Hello dear Rula

Its difficult to make sense using so few words(two beats in each line) and following a single rhyme scheme; BUT YOU SUCCEEDED. Well done.
