Work Overview
This piece was written as as response to the beautiful poem by Deb Westbury that speaks of the stately Oak tree that stands proudly at the Varuna Writers Centre, Blue Mountains. Varuna is recognised as Australia's pre-eminent institution for writing development, and is central to a thriving community and is in partnership with CreateNSW and Australia Council for the Arts.
'Oak', by Deb Westbury
There is only this one hour of
stillness
before
dark
and the trunk of the great
oak
taking up all the
window,
standing
in the rain.
Once I wrapped it with my
arms
and pressed an ear against
it
listening
hard;
to the sound of
water
seeping through moss and
ferns
gathering into
cascades
and
rivulets
singing over stones.
And all of this
ascending,
as if the oak was a long
well
from which the sky
drew
music and
water
to itself.
