I approve of this!

First rains.
What I hold in my hand.
Brave new life.

Or if you prefer single-word prompts: rain, hand, life.

In New Mexico,
there is so much more sky.
In one part, a heroic sun shines forth,
like the Biblical bridegroom.
In another, a shadow sends hail and rain.

Yesterday as I was driving to work,
I very nearly got distracted in a dangerous way
by the rainbow-colored cloud above me in the east.
Across the next ten minutes, in careful glimpses
eased between checking car lengths and lanes,
I tracked the subtle shifting of blue, violet, green, and pink
tones in a narrow stripe of cloud.

Eventually, traffic drew away the brunt of my attention.
I like to think the mountain wooed the cloud,
just as the Bridegroom, the sun, gave wistful looks
as he considered broaching the subject of polyamory
with his Bride.

I love a sky large enough to hold sun and rain together, and a mountain high enough to make bold with clouds. You've made this poem-enabler very happy!
