As a multi-published author, ordained minister & pastor, Marie began her career as a publisher in 2011 when she opened the doors of Dancing With Bear Publishing. Since that time, she has devoted her company to publishing only the best in Christian writing from Bible studies to children's books, fiction, non-fiction, and other genres for the whole family.
Marie also finds time to write occasionally, and her most recent book, Shine His Life Directions in Life, is the second book in the Shine series. She lives with her husband of nearly 25 years, Nathan, in the wilds of the Bitterroot Mountain range in Idaho.
I sat so merry in my abode
Loving hands around me
I dreamt of such glorious days
One day i would see
I remember the day I left
My room
I closed the door behind me
One quick look again
Then walked away
The room which would always remind me
The glorious days I had dreamt
I did merrily spent
How little did I then know
Life turns on a dime
My room is now not as it was
When I closed the door
Behind me
My room now is a prison
But not how one would invision
It is one of sorrow and grief
Sadness burns into the bare walls
I catch my breath
And weep
Why did thou'st doth betray?
The room which once embraced me
I ask with riddled heart
Jagged and torn
Which wicked riddles have I thus sought?
I sit still
I am now my room
No dreams as once before
I age before my open door
In my room long ago
I sat merrily in my loving abode
Loving hands did hold me
All gone
My room and myself
Now one
Two thrust to be together
Forever
Alone
