I hate homophones.

Into the world comes a melody
nobody has heard before
only our ears thrilling
to the moment we greet
a new friend into our hearts
and minds to take root
and grow into a memory
and a cure for sadness
or despair, singing its
gentle tune - a lullaby
for our souls and then
I write a poem to share
with all the world
and although I wanted
to explain the wonder
of hearing a brand new
song before anyone
else in the universe
all I can think of is
how could anyone read this out loud
without laughing
when it has the words
'our souls' in it?
