As
if
to
have
purpose
the
janitor
creates
with
a
broom
and
a
mop
till
the
floor
is
clean
shines
with
a
smile
like
a
work
of
art
his
masterpiece.

Great poem, I do love his style. We rarely think of the many 'artists' among us.

A poem of being in the moment. A poem of the unique "common" person. A poem illustrating the importance of all work. There is art and poetry everywhere.

I like the way the single-word lines reflect the side-to-side motion of mopping. May the art we produce through our daily tasks also bring smiles. Brother Lawrence wrote he was pleased when he could take up a straw from the ground for the love of God.
