Danny P. Barbare- Two Poems

A Beginning

Like
looking
through
the
doorway

as
I
mop
the
floor

a
smile
as
a
gift

begins
with
me.



The Heavens

On
the
floor

by
the
light
of
the
window

with
God’s
spirit

I
mop
the
split
clouds

till
it
is
just
blue

and
admire
his
work
like
a
windowsill
of
earth.
