THE LEAP

A flash of blue light  
Pure energy of life  
One being enters the fray  
The other to a room far away  
Each ask "Why am I here?"

The one to whom this is  
Another assignment to live  
Looks around, curious, afraid, unsure  
Trying to understand and learn more  
To know "Why am I here?"

The other in that small room  
With only bed and table  
Is unnerved and in total disarray  
Understanding only this isn't like any other day  
Pleads "Why am I here?"

A man with kind eyes  
Dressed in primary colors  
Mixed on a pallet of eccentric hues  
Speaks to the other so as to diffuse  
The feared "Why am I here?"

Explained that they are there  
In a room with bed and table  
Looking at a mans face not their own  
Because of a strange experiment which intones  
Each life "Why am I here?"

The man in multicolored attire  
Obtains name, time, and circumstances  
Then quickly leaves that little space  
Ready to help his friend embrace  
A new "Why am I here?"

His friend exists in a life  
At once alien and new  
Attempts to learn the ebb and flow  
Of this other's life so that he can know  
And act out "Why am I here?"

All the people to whom he speaks  
An interacts with do not know  
That the one they see is not "on sight"  
That somehow a man's been sent to  
make something right  
That's Why he is here.

A sliver of white appears  
And the man in brilliant clothes  
Enters the scene, cigar in sync  
Pushing buttons on a computer's hand held link  
To help answer "Why am I here?"

The two talk about how time unfolds  
And what happens that makes it that way  
That God, Fate, Time, or Whoever is needing changed  
While the people around wonder if the person they see is deranged  
While he learns "Why he is here."

They see him talking into thin air  
Gestering, acting as if someone's responding  
They do not, can not know that this is life  
Regardless of living the fear and strife  
When performing "Why he is here."

Someone's life is sure to need  
The changes he was sent to make  
Often at risk to life, limb, and mind  
But he's there to do it because he's kind  
And will complete "Why he is here."

Through it all the man named Al  
In funky clothes and hologram self  
Helps his friend to know what the other could not  
And therefore allows the changes to be made in this plot  
So his friend achieves "Why he is here."

The things the traveler does in many ways  
Are done to help because he truly cares  
But in his heart, his mind, his body and his soul  
He desires to be at home and to once again be whole  
Back where he knows "Why he is here."

Another flash of blue completes  
The circle for this Quantum Leap  
The other from the room returns now out of a jam  
While the one who travels through time, named Sam  
Will ask again "Why am I here?"
