The Mountain’s Gentle Song

6 min 46 sec

Mountains stand tall and proud and snow on their tops looks like fluffy hats.
A soft wind whispered around the peaks, carrying the scent of pine and the promise of quiet.

Milo, a small cloud sheep with fleece as white as the mountain caps, drifted low above the ridge.
He loved how the world below felt slow and steady, like a lullaby that never ended.

Each peak seemed to breathe in and out, their snowy hats glowing pink with dawn.
Milo hummed a gentle note that matched the hush.

Far below, a tiny light blinked inside a stone cottage.
Milo floated closer, curious.

Inside the cottage lived Elsa, a girl who collected silence the way others collect shells.
She kept each quiet moment in tiny glass jars on her windowsill.

When the wind rattled the panes, she opened one jar and the room grew still.
Milo watched her open a jar now.

The hush drifted up like warm milk.
It touched Milo’s wool and made him feel lighter than air.

Elsa looked up, saw the little cloud sheep, and smiled without a sound.
She waved him down.

Milo landed on the windowsill, hooves clicking softly against the wood.
Together they watched the mountains turn from rose to gold.

Elsa lifted a jar labeled “dawn” and uncorked it.
Inside, the first light of morning curled like a sleeping kitten.

She tipped the jar, and the light poured over Milo’s fleece, making it shimmer.
Milo felt calm settle inside him like snow settling on branches.

He realized the mountains were not only tall, they were gentle listeners.
Every breeze carried their slow heartbeat.

Elsa pressed a small jar into Milo’s wool.
It read “mountain song.”

Milo understood he was to carry it somewhere.
He nodded, rose, and drifted away on the quiet air.

The ridge unfolded beneath him like a white blanket.
He passed a herd of chamois resting on a ledge.

Their ears twitched, but they did not flee.
They sensed the calm in Milo’s fleece.

Milo hovered above them, released the jar’s cork, and let the mountain song drift down.
It sounded like distant bells made of snowflakes.

The chamois closed their eyes, breathing slowly.
Milo continued onward.

A golden eagle soared beside him, wings spread wide.
Milo shared a second jar labeled “sky hush.”

The eagle blinked once, dipped a wing in thanks, and glided away on softer air.
Milo felt the quiet grow wider than the sky.

He drifted toward a high meadow where tiny alpine flowers pushed through melting snow.
Each bloom cupped a single drop of dawn.

Milo sprinkled a pinch of calm over them.
The petals unfurled a little more, glowing like small moons.

A family of marmots peeked from their burrow.
Milo offered them a jar marked “snuggle.”

They accepted, noses twitching, and curled together, humming low, contented sounds.
Milo’s fleece shimmered with reflected calm.

He rose higher, following the spine of the range toward the tallest peak, where the snow hat lay thickest.
There he found an old weather station, shutters closed, chimney sighing gentle smoke.

Milo landed on the slanted roof.
Snow muffled his hooves.

Through the attic window he saw a lone caretaker named Lukas, headphones on, listening to the blizzard’s distant cousins across the planet.
Lukas looked tired, eyes flickering over screens of swirling colors.

Milo tapped the window with a soft hoof.
Lukas looked up, startled, then smiled at the cloud sheep.

Milo offered the last jar, labeled “home.”
Lukas opened the window, accepted the gift, and held it to his chest.

The room seemed to exhale.
Screens dimmed to gentle blues.

Lukas removed his headphones and heard instead the slow creak of timbers, the soft crackle of pine in the stove, the hush of snow on the roof.
He breathed deeply, shoulders loosening.

Milo watched until Lukas’s eyelids drooped, then quietly lifted back into the sky.
The peak glowed rose again as the sun slipped lower.

Milo realized the mountains had given him something too: a calm that fit inside him like a small smooth stone.
He drifted down the lee side, past quiet forests of larch and fir.

Shadows stretched long and violet.
Evening calm settled over everything like a lullaby.

Milo returned to Elsa’s cottage as the first stars appeared.
She stood outside, arms wrapped in a wool shawl, waiting.

Milo released the final glimmer of mountain song into the air above her.
It floated down as silver motes, settling on her hair like tiny stars.

Elsa laughed, a soft sound that felt like snow falling on water.
She reached up, scratched Milo’s chin.

Together they listened to the mountains breathe.
Night deepened.

The snowy hats turned lavender under the moon.
Milo felt the calm inside him glow steady.

He understood that every quiet moment shared made the world gentler.
Elsa went inside, lit a single candle, and placed the empty jars in a circle.

Milo hovered nearby, watching the flame flicker like a small calm heart.
He thought of the chamois, the eagle, the flowers, the marmots, Lukas.

Each had received a piece of hush, and each had returned a softer world.
Milo’s fleece shimmered with moonlit gratitude.

He drifted above the cottage, circled once, then settled onto the ridge like a small cloud pillow.
The mountains stood tall and proud around him, their snowy hats glowing under starlight.

Milo closed his eyes.
The calm between peaks and sky felt endless.

He hummed a single soft note that matched the heartbeat of stone and snow.
Somewhere below, Elsa blew out the candle.

Darkness grew velvety, gentle.
Milo felt himself dissolve into the quiet, becoming part of the mountain’s slow, steady breath.

Dawn would come again, bringing new jars to fill, new calm to share.
For now, everything rested.

The world held its breath in peaceful sleep.
Milo, a small cloud sheep, keeper of quiet, slept too, cradled by the mountains’ gentle song.
