About this listen

In a quiet mountain temple where morning mist drifts like prayer, stillness becomes its own form of devotion. Clouds Resting on the Temple Roof is a sleep story for adults written to guide the listener toward rest, reflection, and peace.

High in the hills, a caretaker begins his ritual: sweeping ancient stone paths, lighting small lamps, and listening as clouds settle over curved tiles that have weathered a hundred seasons. Around him, the world softens. Water murmurs through bamboo pipes, incense rises in slow spirals, and bells wait for the faintest wind to give them voice. Nothing urgent happens here—only the gentle rhythm of dawn unfolding, moment by moment.

Each sentence in this bedtime story for adults is crafted like a breath—calm, deliberate, and full of quiet intention. The temple itself becomes a living presence, part stone and part memory, holding centuries of silence and prayer.

This meditative tale belongs to Before Your Dream — a series of poetic stories for calm evenings and unhurried minds. It invites you to release the day and drift into stillness.

A story not of doing, but of being. Not of seeking, but of resting.
