Take a deep breath.
Gather together those fires of your lungs
And let the air travel deep and long.
Through your nose into your trachea,
hurtling to the left and to the right bronchi,
as your chest rises full and strong,
passing through bronchioles to land
in silent thunder onto your delicate alveoli.
Chemicals exchange in a rapid dance,
and life springs to your blood,
to your muscles, to your heart.
Take a deep breath.
Give thanks, for each one is a gift.
