The World’s Shortest Epic Poem: He Came Down

He Came Down

The King without a shadow
The prince that wars for peace
The Love that binds Them both
Revealer revealed the least.

The Mother of all unions
Bucket spilling singing stars
Limping, laughing Lord of the dance
Slaying dragons through His scars.

Tragedy in Eden, hubris’ naked shame
A curse, a curse upon the land
Waiting in age’s darkness
Lightning flashing, now comes the Man.

Death’s grip loosed by innocence
Come see the roaring Lamb
As hell swallows its bitter self
The damned given a damn.

Villainy, rebellion, my ignoble role
Snatched up in His victory won
He stooped to rescue my rotting corpse
Made a son by His beloved Son.

He reigns over and beyond
Every raging sea
And now and forever
By name, loves me.
