Here lay I, beneath a cover of green,
Waiting for glories emancipation
from this endless drawn out dream.
So do not cry as you stroll on by,
for I shall have peace on the other side.
For my days before were filled with a poor mans grief,
With little in the way of comfort, for none was ever afforded me.
My days with the living were endless, full of labor and toil,
And my nights were unassuming excursions into my soul.
Yesterday’s dreams ran away from all of my tomorrows,
Leaving disillusionments heaped upon mountains of sorrow.
Shallow and empty were these times, in which I lived,
Yet, now I am free from the pettiness of dreams unfulfilled.
For the tears I once cried,
have long since dried,
beneath my cover of green.
So do not cry, as you pass me by,
For at last…the peace I imagined is seen.
Yes... Seen from beneath
a cover of green.
For now I sleep,
at last in peace.
At last
No more
Tears,
No more
Dreams,
Peace at last,
Beneath the
Cover of green.

I liked this line here Allen,
Yet, now I am free from the pettiness of dreams unfulfilled.
there seemed to be an invisible 'yet' trailing on the end, which would certainly mean hope carried, beyond that green, :) al
be under that cover of green...YOU
will be walking with your Master in
Heaven with the calmness and peace
only Heaven can bring.
Superb write as always from you.
