In Greek, the word pneuma means breath, soul, air and spirit.  In Japenese, the word ki means both air and spirit.

Three Deep Breaths

Something Beautiful
Clouds
The earth is muted and quiet.
Up above, clouds, like soft
Cotton float by,
Gently caressing
The blue sky.

Breath Meditation
Pelvis and spine rock gently
With each breath,
Like a blade of grass 
Moved by a soft wind.

Inhalation takes me gently
Back
Exhalation softly undulates
Forward
The pause takes me deep into
The earth.
