A clean breath

a clean breath is a gift
with air that's great to taste
to give your chest a lift
hold it. there, in place

let it rest a little on your tongue
let it rest a little in your lungs
and when you then exhale 
enjoy the whistle it has sung

give a little sigh
for a good breath that played its part
never question why
it felt a rushing purpose to depart

breathing ain't always easy
even though we do it every day
embrace a breath that enter cleanly
before it goes away
