A word search puzzle baffled me,
my letters just weren’t there,
Yet a different word solution
was waiting to be found.

I shouldn’t have been surprised
as it happens now and then;
But when I thought just how it worked,
I knew I had something there.

It’s like waiting at a crosswalk for
the light to turn green,
then discovering the walk light
had been flashing all along.

Look beyond the obvious,
turn your preconceptions around,
for answers are often found,
when we open our inside out.
