The Balance

by cAmilla Wu

Morning, Southern Hemisphere,

  A glass of dry Chardonnay and another glass of sweet Riesling for me. A glass of fresh Cabernet Franc and another glass of chewy Mourvedre for you. Cheers! One more shot of tequila. Now we are so ready for a dance.

  Music lures the air to spread the endorphin. Your heartbeats form a rhythm for my body to whirl. Sweat drops from your firm muscles.  Speed bounces on my finger tips. The shirts carry a salty taste mingling with fragrance. Your eyes show glimmers of satisfaction. My moves follow your soul to a new paradise. 

  Our hugs fade away the glamor of tomorrow. From now on we are going to spend each day like it is the end of the world, you say. This is deep for both of us to roll the dice. I am still trying. I am still trying to balance the life between the new paradise and the old world. 

Love,

Northern Hemisphere who is doing the best to keep the balance now on an island named TaiWan
