I wrote this as a submission to the poetry competition but I went over by many words. I post it here for you guys to read and if you want give feedback. You can tell me it sucks, that's ok, but only if it actually sucks.
"So you see my sweet, dearest boy; they search the universe for meaning, hoping to understand the reality of their own lives. You must show them, you must lead them my beautiful boy, my dearest Horus."
"They look so far into the sky mother, what do they see? Why does it give them hope?"
"As the light travels to them it reveals to them their past. They look to their past to understand their present."
"What is the truth mother?"
"That in their own present, the star is looking back...."
On Earth an event happened in 2022, a supernova greater than any other observed in recorded history. Every telescope in the world watched the bright flare up in the sky as a new star was born. For the first time human's were able to observe the anomaly using spectrometers, x-rays, and bolometers to measure a vast spectrum of radiant energy. Two operators are looking at a screen.
"I don't get it Frank, is it just random interference?"
"Couldn't be sir, I mean, I guess if an infinite number of monkeys typing would produce Shakespeare then maybe.... I.. I don't know.."
"Monkeys typing Shakespeare? What the hell... ?"
"I'm sorry.. i'm sorry I just, I just hope it's not interference.... but most likely it's some reflection of a signal from some kid some where. We'll isolate it and clean it all up and see if we can pinpoint it."
"You damn well better Frank. Figure it out and get me a source of causality by tomorrow, we have a lot of data to go over and I don't us distracted by... whatever this is."
"Yessir, will do, right away."
Within the data measuring the spectrum of light and variations of wavelengths and frequencies they saw an image:
We now travel light-years to the supernova. As we travel the time keeps pace until we arrive in the present at the point where the supernova occurred. There orbiting the star sits a small, blue planet with a single ring. Two children sit within their home built astronomy lab using their home built radio telescope to view a supernova, the supernova which was the beginning of our own Solar System. "Dude, that's bright! How far away is that?"
"Pretty far, like billions of years photon time. However, using the ole' quantum telephaser I got from my dad's work I'm sending them a signal in real time."
"How do you know something is going to be there to see it? OOH! say, 'We like to watch you pee!?' Hahah!"
"Don't be such an infant. I'm sending the symbol on our flag, the planet symbol. If they can, they'll send something back, if they can't, well then they suck and we rule."
"You're so serious all the time. I hope they answer back though, if there's anything over there."
In a dream, a God looks to his mother
"I don't understand Mother, what am I supposed to do?"
"You must teach them my beautiful Horus, that they are not alone, that what they desire searches for them as verily as they search for it, that all life in the universe is living in one glorious moment, irregardless of space, time, and distance. And you must teach them the truth of the Uncreate."
"The Uncreate, Mother?"
"That place beyond the light. The void which the light seeks to fill. It is the space between spaces, and the space at the end of all things. The Uncreate is the birth place of that which has never existed. It will become populated by their thoughts, desires, and actions. Teach them my son, that at the end of light they must fill the Uncreate with goodness, vitality, and life. If they fill the void with destruction, such will be created, and such will overcome all other things."
"I will Mother, I will do this thing."
