Oh, the comfort,
The inexpressible comfort
of feeling safe with a person.
Having neither to weigh out thoughts
Nor words
But pouring them all right out,
just as they are,
Chaff and grain together ;
Certain that a faithful hand
Will take them and sift them;
Keeping what is worth keeping and,
With the breath of kindness,
Blow the rest away.
