The Blessing

This man and woman find “The Blessing” of love in love itself. Their union suffuses them with perfect serenity. She leans against him, and they fit together seamlessly. They tilt their heads as if experiencing the same dream of future happiness. He holds their pomegranate – their fruit, neither his nor hers alone – as the cherub pulls at her hand. The angel completes the circle for the lovers, drawn to them by the intensity of their own emotion, and coaxes them to make this moment last forever.
