1.Present, though unlooked for, Christ comes to his friends, making new beginnings from imagined ends. 2. On a road, retreating, grieving for the dead, two engage the Living breaking common bread. 3. In a closed room, cloistered, skeptics meet the Lord and have in that moment faith and strength restored. 4. Through a dark night fishing, strained eyes glimpse a fire -- it is Christ rekindling smoldering desire. 5. Present, though unlooked for, Christ comes to his friends, making new beginnings from imagined ends. From Songs for the Cycle ©2004 by Michael Hudson. Church Publishing Incorporated.
