The Soul I Sold

The Soul I Sold In the dream I dreamed last night. The world was dark and cold. I had returned back into hell. To retrieve the soul I sold. Surrounded by my enemies. Not one friend did I see. I tried to save another. The way that He saved me. As I looked all around me. I heard the souls that cried. My enemy stayed hidden. From the light I had inside. Finally I found my soul. It was lost and all alone. I laid hold upon it. And I claimed it as my own. Throughout my journey into hell. I was constantly under attack. They could no longer hurt me. And I did not fight back. I found another lying there. Her heart was broke in two. I reached out to hold her. And I carried her out too. Edwin C Hofert
