The title sums it up: a variation on Quiet Essence.
There is a saying : "The deeper the silence, the higher the inspiration', which your poem seems to allude to. Quietude is a necessary zone for peace and harmony of inner strength, and drawing close to perfection.

Fine job Yvette. It has a message that resonates with people who are looking for peace. The soul is eternal but the body is not. Many people never feed their soul like they do their body. Z

Your concise, thought-provoking poem poetically addresses the human soul, which, though itself silent, can be moved by God's Holy Spirit. Yes, eternity lies within the soul.

Ok Yvette. The mystery is solved. I always wanted to know where words that whisper in the night came from. :) They have lived forever locked in our soul and in a moment of feeling, emerge and speak. That's so cool! Thank you for writing about something I had never heard off. This is a good entry for the 5 Line Poem.

Good luck in the poetry contest Yvette. You created this on the bases of silence, which is important to us and an endearment that is a must at times. It is also precious when obtained.

A very well-written five-Line poem about the quietness we are looking for sometimes we can find in perfect silence if our souls where no outside turmoil can disturb the quiescence.

Hey, Yvette.
You've penned some pretty deep thoughts for a five-line poem.
Wonderfully and colourfully presented too, as always.
Every poet and writer must find his or her unique niche.
I believe you've discovered yours.
Keep up the g-r-r-r-r-r-r-reat work!
Hugs,
~Dean

    Thanx so much for this wonderful review, Sir Dean -- and great to hear from you, sir!! :) Hope all's well over there.... I've begun the meeting/orientation madness leading up to school next week so, I'll probably not be around as much.... you and the Gidgette take care! ;) Yvette
