Oh, the comfort -
The inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person -
Having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring
Them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together;
Certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them,
Keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness,
Blow the rest away.
