A Simple and Thoughtful Poem :)

friendship
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 the breath of kindness
blow the rest away.
