Safe harbor

This is a poem I love by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik.
Safe Harbor
"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."
