first mate

first mate

A Poem by zeronineight
"

i'll be your first mate, in any universe, in any timeline

"

when you make

your animation studio,

i'll be your secretary --

i'll find you your resources

and help you make it happen

together we'll make sure

it keeps happening

 

when you build

your own community

from the ground up,

i'll be your scaffoldings --

i'll hold you up

and keep you grounded

so you can reach

places you can't when you're

firmly rooted to the ground

 

when you start

your ukay-ukay fashion center,

i'll be your muse --

i know nothing about clothes

but you seem to love

making, buying them for me

so i'll wear what you make me

i'll hold my chin up and believe

that when you give me

something

it's usually

everything

 

when you produce

your art content, be it

animated, comic, or any

other art form i don't know,

i'll be your bouncing board of ideas --

we can talk about the cosmos,

the other worlds we'd rather be in

the many ways we can make this place

somewhere we wanna be in,

 

i'll take all of your ideas

and bounce them back to you

until you see your own beauty

this talent you have

for dreaming

 

because as long as you

keep dreaming,

i'll keep believing

that the cosmos exist

that we are more than a spec

that we can be something

for ourselves

for other people

 

we can make it happen

 

 

so even when you want

your own pirate crew

to brave the rocky seas,

i'll be your first mate

 

we'll sail the high seas together,

just tell me when
