Long ago, before humans told time with clocks and calendars, the Earth, whom the villagers called Dharti Ma (Mother Earth), felt a deep loneliness. She spun and swayed in the vast emptiness, watching distant stars twinkle like fireflies on an endless night. Her only companion was the vast, inky ocean that stretched across her skin like a shimmering blue sari.
One evening, as Dharti Ma sighed a gentle breeze that rustled the paddy fields of Bengal, a new light appeared in the darkness. It was Chondrima, the Moon, newly formed and shy in her brilliance. She orbited Dharti Ma at a distance, admiring her vibrant blues and greens, the swirling clouds like intricate embroidery.
Chondrima longed to be closer, to hear the whispers of Dharti Ma’s winds and the murmur of her rivers. Dharti Ma, in turn, was captivated by Chondrima's serene glow, a soft counterpoint to her own dynamic energy. But a great, invisible tether kept them apart.
One night, moved by a shared yearning, Dharti Ma began to sing. Her voice was the rumble of tectonic plates, the crashing of waves against the Cox's Bazar shoreline, the rustling symphony of the Sundarbans. It was a deep, resonant song of longing and welcome.
Chondrima, listening from afar, felt her own silent heart respond. She began to dance. Not a physical dance, for she was a celestial body, but a dance of light and shadow. Her pale glow would ebb and flow, mimicking the rhythm of Dharti Ma's song. She would hide her face, then reveal it in radiant fullness, like a bride playing coy behind a veil.
The villagers below, sleeping under the open sky in their bamboo huts, would stir in their dreams, sensing the cosmic ballet above. They would later tell stories of how the moon waxed and waned, a celestial dance in response to the Earth's loving song.
Over eons, this dance continued. Dharti Ma's song softened into the gentle tides that kissed her shores, and Chondrima's dance became a comforting, predictable cycle. Though they could never truly embrace, their connection deepened, a silent understanding woven into the fabric of the cosmos, a reminder that even in the vastness of space, loneliness could be answered by the beauty of a shared rhythm. And sometimes, on a clear night over the Bengal Delta, if you listened closely, you could still hear Dharti Ma's gentle hum and see Chondrima's graceful sway, a cosmic love story unfolding in the silent language of light and gravity.
