When I die
Light the flame
Build the fire high
Give me the death of a king
Free my soul
From this damned body
That hindered me so
When I die
Mourn me not
Let the light guide
And the heat warm
As I soar with Her
Across the heavens

Featuring original poetry, as well as prose posts on topics ranging from theology and politics to pop culture, mental health, and living with disabilities.

My name is Devin Hogg. I was born and raised in Carnarvon, Ontario, Canada. I moved to Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 2009 for university and lived here ever since. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TV and movies, going on long walks, swimming, and practicing Chen style Tai Chi. I love to write poetry and blog regularly about topics such as mental health, sci-fi/fantasy series, faith, sexuality, and politics. View more posts
