in the shadows

Ripped from complacency,
we all are bare root seedlings
cast upon the swirling currents,
shifting with the surging tides
within the superficially chaotic
labyrinth of time;
paths cross and change,
and cross again,
searching always
with the hope of permanent redemption;
screaming demons act
as tour guides for the cast asides
clinging in quiet desperation
to whatever belief escapes the eyes
as the planet rides along,
in quiet majesty,
through the left behind detritus
of galaxies that got the best of choice.

The entire poem was outstanding yet that line grabbed me... how true to find those words that so fit us all! Wonderful write here.
