Between Friends: Flashes of Light are on my Path

Two woman, Anita Holzberg and Ann Wainwright met over the internet with Bill Costley,

their common friend, whose wife Carolin had been Ann's good friend. Starting in

June '09, Anita sent a Cupcake poem to Ann's website cakecakecake, after seeing

the photo of cupcakes. The poem was about her grandson's first birthday party. Ann

liked that and it was the start of a wonderful exchange of poems from Anita to Ann and

Ann with color, photos, and lay-out savvy, presented them to the blog. Now, in 2010,

the two women so alike in spirit and interests, have started BetweenFriends, a new blog

site where they can combine ideas about their worlds. Ann lives in Northern UK

(Teesside). Anita lives in Northern California, Sunnyvale, (Silicon Valley where all the

computers are.) We share our lives on this blog and hope you will comment and share

yours too, dear readers and enjoy the "ride".

In sickness and in health

I know the meaning of the word

as I push forward

over 75 days

but whose counting

The threads of the soul shimmer

the feet are numb

the days without your face responding

hard

I go forward into the light

for the feeling is good now

the progress monumental

the trip back for you

now

here

for me somethimes an inigma

Flashes of light are on my path

I follow them

blind to this story

although

watching it unfold

every day

the story of You

before my eyes.
