Aspirations of the cloud


The clouds aspire to cover the entire mountain range and accomplish a wholesome deflection of sunshine. A glory that calls for all the fragmented floating cloud formations to come together. Umpteen times the pack of clouds are just able to patch over the mountains while the sun comfortably shines through. An united front on the troposhere proves to be elusive for month's together but the clouds perseveres through the separation.  


Eventually, the clouds succeeds to roof over the mountains providing a seamless shield from the rays of the sun. Our fellow human beings refer to such an act as gloomy conditions, quiet an irony when even a little retrospection could lead us to understand the cloud cover is anything but gloomy. 

Millions of positive and negative ions interact to strike a lightening horizontally establishing an united cloud formation. While a vertical strike signifies that the floodgates are open for trillions of tiny droplets to fall over the landmass bringing an enormous sense of relief followed up with joy for the entire range of green life that covers the mountain ranges and it's peripheral. Amongst the given mix of reactions, how do we explain the presence of thunder? Well, the clouds are just calling out 'cheers', maybe a bit too loud for our comfort. 

In the succeeding time period within a span of months, life springs up in all corners of the landmass leading to the formation of rivers that flows over the hard rocks and majestically falls from great heights to create many variations waterfalls on it's course. The trees are visibly happy, the butterflies are flying around dotted with different colours, the cuckoo composes it's version of music that syncs well with the tunes of other songbirds, the salmon tries to swim against the flow of river delivering a feast of itself for the grizzly bear, the amphibian toad hops in zigzag loop for a much needed snack to a python and many other life forms move around in determined fashion. The ecosystem exhibits an exuberance of energy which can be felt, heard and witnessed in just about every section. 

When we look back, a striking realization dawns upon us that the aspirations of the cloud was the spark that led to the chain of creations down the line. Now, what do we call a cloud cover? I would say 'Majestic' with a capital M.
