Poetry

A mirror to reflect
 matters too close or too dear,
A key  to break
 chains of bondage and fear,
A fire to forge
a blade of truth,
A song to soar
the night skies through,
A canvas for what
was felt but not seen,
A riddle in words,
but what does it mean?

Thank you. I did it for one of the contests, but it was fun because it made me think "How do you explain what poetry really is to someone who just doesn't get it?"
