On the Lighter Side

A poem I have loved for many years, but do not know it's Author...

"Oh, the joy, the inexpressible joy of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together...knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and then, with the breath of kindness, simply blow the rest away".

Anyone know? Searches on the net have come up blank...

-End of Ramble.
