het·ero·nym
Noun: one of two
or more homographs [words that are spelled the same]
that differ in
pronunciation and meaning
(such as a bass voice and bass, a fish)
First Known Use:
circa 1889
69: wind
As days wind down, we gasp
for wind—
Each breath, we realize, a gift.
It takes so long for us to find
That life is precious, very swift.
I’m grateful I’ve lived long enough
To thank so many who have made
My pathways through this life less rough—
I view the future, less afraid.
