A blog for all self-identified dreamers, wanderers, mystics, misfits, and nerds–basically anyone who chooses "the road less traveled" consistently. Featuring original poetry, as well as prose posts on topics ranging from theology and politics to pop culture, mental health, and living with disabilities.
The Candle
I have a candle
Burning inside of me
Steady and small
But true.
Though the winds howl;
Though the rain pours;
Though the storm rages;
And though
All the forces of darkness
Aims to blow
My candle out:
My candle burns on
Holding back the dark.
I long for the day
When love will feed the flame
Transform my small candle
Into a blazing sun.
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
