Poem: Inquired Minds

Inquired Minds

By: Joi Maree Flowers

When asked to retell

We are prompted to remember

Those things wished to be forgotten

But inquired minds

Will always remind

And there is no escape door to exit

Or no wall which behind it to hide

It's inevitable

That the past will be revisited

Without our planning to do so

But it doesn't have to be relived

As we are no longer who we were

But are who we are

Now

And we can not be judged

Or held accountable

For days which we forgave and were forgiven

And we can not be cast

Back into the darkness

Of times for which we found a way out of

Because inquired minds
