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".

The Infinite Battle - Anita Holzberg

In the goings and comings
  In the brink or on the brink
I fight my battles with a growing waistline
always and always
I've tried and been successful
Then, my world falls apart as the weight
follows me back

In this insane state of being
I buy more clothes
I feel less than
I wander who I am really

So goes the weight I walk better
So comes on the weight I walk not as good
Isn't that reason enough

The carrot is out there
Eating well, feeling well is out there
In that state of state
I can't even hear this

I get on the bike, my salavation
I walk into the pool
I eat less and juice more

I never ever give back
Even if the weight follows me back
I fight the battle and let the sleep come
over me like a cloud
I float in the meaning of Now
Now is the time to get the body back
Now is the time.
