Exhale: Release and create,
Inhale: Gather and nourish,
Exhale: Loosen and share,
Inhale: Draw and replenish,
Exhale: Surrender and sigh,
Inhale: Unite and receive,
Exhale: Express and give,
Inhale: Assemble and hold,
Exhale: Relinquish and set free,
Inhale: Store and treasure,
Exhale: Cast and measure out,
Inhale: Claim and protect,
Exhale: Bestow and rejoice,
Inhale: Shore up and fortify,
Exhale: I am awake and ready.
