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’s dark, starting to sprinkle and presumably overcast. The weather is changing.
No wind stirs the air but occasionally an acorn let’s go and plummets rattling through the branches to smack the ground.
Far up the canyon I hear dogs barking.
A jet rumbles overhead, a car rolls past, then is gone.
And the crickets, always the crickets.
