12/21/25 6:30 32F (0C) Winter Solstice. Cloudy, frozen and dark.
Cold, moonless, and without stars. There is nary a breath of wind.
The leaves have been brushed with frost, the deck is slick with ice.
Winter has arrived.
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.
