Between Friends: Out of the Silences

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".

Out of the silences

I take my leave

The world is not awake

My cats follow me and wait for food

I drink my Keurig donut shop coffee

I eat a few Sandies cookies dunking them in the coffee

I read my e mail

I order some magazines

Life is good

The feet are fine

Last night Claire came and put in a laundry

Last night Mocha slept so close I had no room on the bed

In the silences

I usher in peace

I hold these moments precious

Before the day begins

Before the night disappears

Before the sun rises

Before the mind gets cluttered

Before the beating of the wind, rain, and shadow

I am home.
