Analysis of The Key To Problem
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
in a room, barely lit,
the key to problem rests.
not the solution, no,
but the hinge, the lock,
the click and turn that
unleashes questions, riddles,
and the untidy snarl
of tangled threads.
it hides in plain sight,
just there, beneath the surface,
invisible to the hurried,
the distracted minds.
to find it, one must pause,
breathe, observe, contemplate.
it asks for patience,
unwavering focus,
a willingness to wander
in the labyrinth of thoughts.
some will seek it out,
while others will stumble upon it,
like a forgotten treasure
in the attic of their minds.
but once found, the key
unlocks untold possibilities,
opens doors to new paths,
and whispers of understanding.
and in that moment,
the problem becomes a puzzle,
a game to be solved,
an adventure to be had.
the key to problem
is not a final answer,
but a catalyst for growth,
an invitation to explore.
