We hardly knew you Bhajanji,<\/p>\n
A year has passed since you unexpectedly left us,<\/p>\n
A year of intense suffering and slow-burning pain.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We searched for you in the corners of the world and heavens,<\/p>\n
But only in the recesses of our hearts and contours of our minds<\/p>\n
We saw your smiles and songs well anchored.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While on earth you were an enigma hidden in a charm,<\/p>\n
Your pains and joys were carefully wrapped up,<\/p>\n
Only clue to your soul was in your music.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Wherever you are give us a smile from time to time,<\/p>\n
As your absence has changed our rhythm and colors,<\/p>\n
We are searching for new anchors and new meanings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But you left the world of music in a better shape than before,<\/p>\n
You bought harmony and intensity in its pursuit,<\/p>\n
Joy and freedom in its absorption.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
