Rearview Rainbow

Rearview Rainbow
by Kim Deppe

Rainbows in the rearview
I turn back and look
vying with the snarling traffic
rush hour, rain, and routine
the colors glow
first one bright rainbow,
then two.
a double-headed wish for my better evening
God's reminder
of double blessings
despite the hoary traffic.

Cars stop and go
brake lights
compete with the
multi-colored promise
in my rearview.

Going home. Going home.
Uplifting seconds
lost
in Friday rush hour.
