Between Friends: In Rivers

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 rivers I will find you

along the stream before white water

In desert I will hear you

a chuckle in the dead of night

In forests I will see you rise before

the tall trees

In mountains I will hear you along the trail

In all these miracles of nature

I will see you

on my doorstep

on the deck

in the den

outside the bedroom

remembrance can be sad

I only remember You

with happiness

Profound happiness

And the humor of understanding

You were my everything

You were my lips and eyes

eyes and eyebrows

ears

I listen for your step

In the silence that pervades my home

Still.
