This pendant is called "Poetry".   Rebecca created this pendant in response to her poem called Benadryl.  The relationship between Poetry the pendant and Benadryl the poem is faint.  On the back side, there are tumbling letters falling faintly and vertically down the sterling pendant.  

This poem is about my feelings of not being true to my integrity, my soul's work of creativity.  It is about not speaking my truth and staying in a numb condition, rendering me placid to what is right next to me, right outside my window.  Thus, missing the beautiful world as it passes me by.      Rebecca

 

BENADRYL by Rebecca A Paquette Johnson   April 2022

Poor baby

Asleep
Lethargic at best, when awake

Mother had administered the ample amount
Based on word of mouth
Parenting advise from decades prior

From the back seat, slouched low 
In her sleepy Benadryl state
Drool seeping from her lower words
Poetry couldn't wake up to her life

Unaware
Feet from view
Exquisite floral passed her by
Vividly alive fauna crossed before her
Attempts to check in on her from all sides
Raven fodder was left in the vehicle's shadow
It's lesson, cycle of renewal
Left unrhyming by the side of the road

In this perpetual drowsy state
Unable to hold a pen
Wakefulness illegible
The paper left blank 
She was absent

In a momentary attempt to awaken, she relented
Overcome by another temptation to close To simply ride, swept into semi conscience motion
Her heart quieted, guarded
Breathing dulled
She began to erase her loving words, slowly, sleepily
Her slitted eyelids closed like a heavy book and she fell into sleep again

As her body gave way
Her fist relaxed 
In a gesture opposite of throwing confetti,
single letters slid off the tips of her delicate fingers and tumbled to the synthetic carpeted, cold sand littered floor
