Good Morning

The Writer, Vernon Wade

Vernon Wade is a poet, author and freelancer. He has been published in The Gorge Literary Journal, Dualsport Rider Magazine, Hack’d Magazine, The Sidecarist, ROB Magazine and The Hood River News.

The world fills him with wonder.  When he looks at the sky he is lifted into flights of fancy, when he stares at the earth he is drawn beneath its surface. He is delighted to find the macrocosm and the microcosm equally mesmerizing.

It is a dark and windless morning.

The stars are out.

The moon in its last quarter filters through the maple, kept company by Jupiter and Mars.

Orion shines behind the birch.

A car drives by, lights flickering past the oaks.

It is quiet. Walter rests on the deck at my left.

Amy returns  today.

Enjoying my bitter, smokey tea, I wait for daybreak.

Good morning.
