Poems Are Trunks

Poems are treasure trunks    
   containing...
Mirrors that reflect the soul 
Pop-up books that surprise us    
   with unexpected truths
Love letters never sent    
   and those received 
Exotic salves to heal emotional scars
Signs that make one stop and think
Notes reminding us about who we are   
   and where we came from
Guides to the future
Reminders of the past
Keys to happiness

...and purveyors of tears. Thought provoking and well done.
