august afternoon miracles

yesterday
i took an afternoon walk

i felt a cool breeze
on my face
and saw white clouds
in a blue sky

i heard crows, turkey,
and tiny creatures
like locusts and frogs

i smelled freshly mown
hay

my feet and legs carried me
up a hill and
back down

i breathed
in
and out

all of these things happened

they
really did
