Will man rise up to the call,
In adoration of our precious Lord,
To Love All, Serve All…
All creatures and beings both great and small…
…with care and concern that nothing can impede nor forestall,
Surging forth to Help Ever, Hurt Never…
…with mean and egocentric ways their ties to forever sever…
Oh! 2017…what wonders and marvels will you be unbosoming…?
What magical metamorphoses do you spin within…?
Oh! 2017…if your hours, days and months…
…were to be woven into a garland…
…what spectacular events would you use as a string…?
What boons will you confer…?
Will all of humankind know the extraordinary shimmer…
…the much more in store deep in the core…
…of the Sathya Sai era…
…the consequences of adhering to Sathya, Dharma, Shanti,
Prema and Ahimsa…?
As does unfold each scene…Oh! 2017…
…teeming with vows, pledges and that special fervent hymn…
…what astounding declarations do you anchor within…?
Oh! 2017…i embrace you with all the joys that i hold within,
Away from any ritual of the material…
…the superficial act of the seemingly actual…
…to the real of the spiritual…
Oh! 2017…will earth beings yearn for Sathya Sai…
…as the Loving Lord of their soul…
…knowing themselves to be queens of His Heart…?
Then with dedicated finesse playing their scripted part…
…enacting their unique role…
…Oneness with the Absolute One…
…the solitary focussed goal…
Oh! 2017…into your arms as i step in…
…i can’t help wondering…
…what resolutions, revolutions, revelations…
…what amazing visions will you be springing…?
What cherished dreams and aspirations will you be fulfilling…?
What mysteries will you be unveiling…?
With what remarkable blessings…
…did the Master send you here with…?
What ultimate proclamations, divine appearances…
… will you be declaring forthwith…
…as the Supreme Being does permit…?
Perhaps that exceptional experience…
…with which creation will be for perpetuity lit…
As we journey through your lanes…
…what edicts shall be spectacularly writ…?
Oh! 2017…what miracles can mankind manifest while yearning collectively…?
A sublime communion…a reunion…
Will firm faith and profound conviction…
…with certainty be allowed to foresee…
…perceive and witness tangibly…
…the Precious Sacrosanct One…
…enchantedly, contentedly…rapturously…?
Oh! 2017…with rising terrorism and violence…
…peace alarmingly ferments…
…creation needs reassurance of that Presence…
…in the balmy essence of the comforting Ocean of His Words…
…firm beliefs alleviate and buoyantly float and swim,
Intensely attempting to draw in the Divine Will…
…all hearts crave the myriad exultations…
…cheer and elations with which your days may be abounding…
…and with the Universal Darling…
…the Almighty King of Kings confirming an ancient promised bethrothing…
Oh! 2017…what joys do you hold within…?
You have come from the Creator…
…from Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai…
You are a gift from Beloved Mother Sai…
…what heavenly sighs and joys do you hold within…?
With His Infinite Affection, Incomparable Magnanimity,
All Powerful Will, Energy and Grace…
…i see you glowing and arriving…
…glowingly arriving…
…radiant you are…any and every separation…
…you must now with your dynamic rays end…
Pronounce this wondrous blessing…
…even as i wait and await to rendezvous with you…Oh! 2017,
Oh! 2017…With expectant sighs i await…
…to discover, chance upon, engage in…
…the Presence of Truth…of Sri Sathya Sai…
…and the joyous Sai Joys you hold within…
