By Mike Turner

“One beautiful heart is better than a thousand beautiful faces” – Shakespeare (provenance uncertain)

Search all existence
Land, sea, Earth, Heavens
Seek not fame
Fortune
Power
But the simplicity of comfort
Compatibility
Mutual respect
Peace
Love
Looking past a thousand pretty faces
To find one beautiful heart
Upon which to hang
Hopes, dreams
And Eternity
