7/20/26 6:00 62F (16.6C) Overcast, no wind.
This morning is as soft and gray as the underdown of a dove’s belly.
A crow’s rasping call tears the stillness.
A hummingbird perches on the top branch of a birch.
It is quiet once more.
Good morning.
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.
