One day you realize the past is gone

one day you realize the past has passed
its gone
blown away like smoke
evaporated like sweat
slipped out the back door like a slouchy punk
one day you wake up 
and the sun is up
there's a white mist but no rain
the air is good, it's alive
awake with potential
have you felt it?
popping up like a shy green bean sprout
one day the world is new again
and the past has released you from your cell
forget to wait and you don't need a bus
you don't need a lift from any vehicle
you're floating and gliding with your own wings
