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".

Life Like Love - Anita Holzberg

Life like love
    disappears
        the vanishing act
    I go to the mirror
           age lines
              skin fights back
                  fingernails remain

      Life like love
          winds her own path
              I did not discover you
                      I did not recall
                     your fleeting movements
                         at a table before me

         Life like love
               enhances the dream
                    we are the yearning children
                                hoping

         Life like love
                  pronounces loving thoughts
                       lost on the ears of time
                  pronounces radical wanderings
                       footsteps remembered

         Life like love
                  is a cloth that binds
                       I wear cotton
                              it is soft
                           and everyone should
                              feel the cuddle of this cloth
                     in the scheme of things
                              that is all that matters.
