Being Safe

On Feeling Safe

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,
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.

Thanks, Beng for posting this. I love it! Nothing more to say lest I risk becoming mushy.
