Untitled again

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 with a breath of kindness
blow the rest away
