Mel Auld

In the encircling hills of Lake Okareka’s embrace,

Where forests cloak with a mystic grace,

A land where the soul named Mel could be found,

She who formed a sacred bond with Tawa, their roots deep in

the ground.

A seeker of adventure, I’ve roamed afar,

Through tales and fables, both near and far.

With a pen as a wand and words as spells,

I wove narratives where enterprise dwells.

Like a master weaver, I’ve navigated the maze,

Of meetings and memos, in a sometimes-messy ballet.

Communications, marketing, leadership, and more,

With a longing heart, I then stepped through the door.

Akin to a fern, I unfurled from the ashes of form,

Shedding constraints, embracing a state reborn.

A catalyst of change, traversing beyond the flesh,

Decorporatising, dissolving the veil of mesh.

Now, I am in the realm where nature’s whispers reside,

Coaching, guiding and mentoring, is what I provide.

Where ecotherapy and somatic healing embrace,

To awaken the spirit, restoring life’s grace.

With mindful steps on Earth’s fertile ground,

Hearts listen to nature’s wisdom, profound.

Sensations awakened, emotions unfurl,

Healing the body, the soul, the entire world.

Like the ancient oak, rooted in sacred soil,

My strength emerges from growth and toil.

I’ve tended the garden of my own soul,

Cultivating wisdom that makes spirits whole.

In water’s gentle embrace, I discovered a truth untold,

That life flows like rivers, a tale forever bold.

Each droplet a testament to the interconnected whole,

A reminder that we’re part of a story, a grand unifying scroll.
