A Raft to Drift Upon

Kiana Jimenez

August 15, 2025

A raft to drift upon,

When the storm rages on.

A shelter through the thunder’s might,

A beacon glowing in the night.

The first warm rays of dawning sun,

After a winter when hope seemed none.

A gentle balm for a heart that’s bruised,

A strength restored where pain was fused.

The warmth of a fire when the cold bites deep,

A whisper of calm where fears may sleep.

The power to rise when the world pulls down,

A smile that mends even the darkest frown.

The reason to exist when all feels lost,

A guiding light, no matter what the cost.

The thread that ties the heart to hope,

The anchor thrown so we can cope.

This is love, a quiet embrace,

A force that time cannot erase.

A raft to drift upon, steadfast and true,

Carrying the soul to skies of blue.

Adrift in Darkness and Doom

Dave White’s Ghost Ship and Kiana Jimenez’s Night Ritual converge in a chilling meditation on death, solitude, and the unknown. The spectral vessel adrift on a darkened sea echoes the poem’s storm of fear and doom, merging art and verse into a haunting reflection of mortality and the spaces beyond.
Resilience Amid the Storm

“Raging Sea” explores the turmoil of emotional storms and the fragile strength we cling to as we drift between despair and hope. This reflection on resilience, healing, and inner survival invites readers into the quiet battle beneath the waves—a journey of surrender, endurance, and rediscovering the will to rise again.
Faith Beyond Ethics

Søren Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling reframes Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac as the paradox of faith: ethically indefensible, yet religiously transcendent. This story speaks not only to philosophy but to the human heart. At Poetic Bipolar Mind, it echoes our search for meaning where anguish meets belief.
