What's Next?: Poetry for Life, Love and Family

By Sonja

Whats Next?
When we have loved
With the entirety of our passion
Obsessed with
Each others energy
Indulge the mountains beyond
To gently hold our wants
While frequently asking for
More
Once we realize the matrix
Of our union
We then will know
Whats next?

Sonja

Sonja Plummer was born in Bethesda, Maryland. One of thirteen children, the love and support of her family has been a tremendous influence in her life. Her special joy is sharing poetry with family and friends, as it lends richness in expressing her thoughts and feelings. While growing up, Sonja started writing poetry. Her passion for writing really came to light when she returned to college. Her first collection of poems, “Piece by Piece Love Poems”, displays a picture of a sculpture she completed while attending college. The sculpture, called “Piece by Piece” represents the expressive aspects of an endless love and esteem that two people can share. Four additional books have followed; “Window A Poet’s Journey”, details the spectrum of life and, like her first book, has a cover photo of an art piece in another medium—this time, a painting Sonja completed several years ago, that expresses a journey we take through life. Sonja once again returned to the theme of love in “Is Love Enough?” In this collection, her cover photo portrays the many colors of love expressed in relationships. Once again Sonja extends her poetry palette in her book “What’s Next?” The cover is a photo taken by Sonja, which features a beautiful sunset that captivates one of life’s precious moments; an essence that is hidden but at the same time revealed. Like the sunset on the cover, this collection of poetry reflects the vivid expression of emotions, thoughts, beliefs and the future. In her book “Little Treasures Love Poems”, the cover of her book shows a water color of a sea shell, she painted year ago. Sonja uses an amazing collection of loves deepest textures, creating intrigue, reality, and hope with passionate expectations to love. Sonja continues to write, that which inspires her life through poetry.

Hope

Mountain

No matter how far we climb

This will still be a mountain

As we go forward

It would be wise to

Use what you have learned

You can dream a little

But be careful

If you decide to climb again

This will still be a mountain

But you will have

A better judgment

Of the steps you

Need to take

Believe

Something so powerful

Makes us believe

Even when we don’t want to

That it gets your attention

We all have our own beliefs

It’s the consequence that gives

What we believe in, life

If you believe in something

Respect it

No need giving power to what

You don’t understand or accept

Don’t waste your curiosity

Give considerable attention

To what is true to you

And

Believe

Other Side

As she crossed the road

She could not look back

For they might see

The fear in her eyes

The little ones followed

Guided by her scent

Step by step

One by one

She led the way

Not seeing ahead

She’s hoping they make it

While she presses onward

With blind faith

She forced life

Afraid for her babies

Empowered with the want to live

Not knowing the future

She continued without hesitation

Knowing what’s expected

Her babies depend on her will

To go forward

Nothing will stand in her way

Now she must get her babies

To the other side

It’s food and water and new life

She must get to the

Other side

Come Together

Let’s test the waters

Will it be that you merely

Can’t stand the outlook

Or the method?

We have a lot of work

And most of it won’t get done

But look,

As long as we come together

The results may still be the same

But we will be better

For the effort

Pieces

I would pick up the pieces

One by one

Wishing I had just begun

How did this happen?

Why must I cry?

I forgot who I once was

As I gently sigh

While I quietly whimper

To balance my temper

Where do I go from here?

Pick up the rest of the pieces

Be diligent

And show no fear

Spot in the Road

I ponder the thought

Of what I need to do

How to change my life

I wish for a quick answer

But there is none

I find reverence in the past

At least I have been there before

It was difficult, but I dealt with it

Now

The spot in the road I leave
