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".

At The End of The Road - Anita Holzberg


At the end of the road
     there is a mountain
fresh rain
     beating down around my shoulders
a sun shower of images unimagined

At the end of road
  there is another road
    a winding path
where Robert Frost's words
    were written

At the end of the end of that road
   simultaneously I danced
        and danced
   dancing is floating in space
the world never feels the same
   I dance now in my kitchen

At the end of the 2nd road there is a path
     birds can be heard
        sweet sounds across like in a vineyard

I celebrate that new road
     I drink some red wine
        with a friend who has been there
           even though he think he has not

I watch the on coming dusk
   the pumpkins roll
     the stars come out
        each one by one

Life is each day one by one
The stars are there to guide us
The blackness is less black
The patient moon rises
    in a sea of bright stars
each light illuminating the sky

At the end of the road
I take my chances
because every chance I take
make me feel more alive.

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
