"Above the trees"   Teebra Woods

Oh falling leaf must ye die

one more season cants thou try

be a pine with eternal hopes and dream

the cost is high forever green

instead float away lay not on ground

ride the wave of the wind onward bound

and if we meet again on this strange travel

tell me a story so mysteries unravel

 

 

"Wake Up Laughing" by Teebra Woods

 

Clearly the sleeping body never realized the morning sun

Birds dancing on a hollow chest

Squirrels playing hide and seek

A weary traveler far from a path

Alone in the woods

Flowers sing warnings

The trees tricking the eye

Appearing as a lost love

The deception goes unnoticed

Perhaps this tired soul will

Wake up laughing

 

"All is Well"  by Teebra Woods

Dry sand blowing in a hollow breeze

Cutting down to the bone

Rocks slammed together

In a unified might

A scream of release

All is well

 

"You Heard Me" by Teebra Woods

 

It aint no good

Grabbin and stabin

Liein and diein

Tryin defin

Killin and illin

Damn my man

Can you undstand

The plan

Of the man

So evil as to take

The soul make

It fake

Break

In to a million pieces

Like mieces

Its everywhere

You stare

In the chair

Behind over there

The times

The rhymes

Can you dig

Put down the cig

Whats the jig

But I gots to run

Think hard be number one

 

 

 

"Unfinished"  by Teebra Woods

 

She painted all night

A lone tear was but

An opening line

Signs of life

Float down onto her

The image took shape

Reality and dreams

Contact on canvas

She has lived

If only to dream

She has dreamed

If only to live

Her soul one million life times did feel

Hands moving

Eyes ever gazing

She cannot see that in which she looks

Try as she might

Could that I may

Hand my heart as a branch from the tree of life

As to free her weary condition

How long does this song play to her

In a near by field the farmers plant hope

As if a rainbow that is not seen

My tears burn

Thousands of words

Contained in but one single look

She wipes her brow

Hurt she longs to tear the painting in two

Badly a scream waits deep in her lungs

On the guitars strum

An enchanting sound

Capturing any listener who strays too close

Waves of played notes dance

The sun climbs from out of bed

Gracing a lawn full of dandelions

Peeking in on her work

Yet only for a wink of time

Other moments

Other thoughts linger as clouds do

Unfinished

The canvas falls asleep from lack of attention

She forgets how to live

And No dream world to confuse

No time for tending the garden

Age creeps in as termites do

Destroying the frame of the house

Worriedly glancing about

Eyes that mope

Where did everyone go

An entire universe opens before her very face

Marking her place is such vastness

Any civilized mind would have agreed

Yet such is not her will

She has awakened

finally she screams at the painting

As a trumpet or train crash

Made notice to even the blind and deaf

She boldly proclaims

Shall the creek run dry

Do the trees wither

The oceans retract

Fire burns across continents

Be that as it may

She remembers her dream

She remembers her life
