Well, it's pretty vague to me, and that's the mark of good poetry, isn't
it?  Are you sure you don't want "breathe" in place of "breath?"  Yeah,
before you give up your day job, be sure you either have a market for
creative writing, or be willing to starve for it.  :-(

Regards,
Clyde

(P.S.  It was sorta fun trying to figure it out, though.  I think I got
about half of it.  Poor Betsy!)
