how are you ?

endless is the path,
timeless is the travel,
far fetched is the destiny,
harsh is the reality,
and we ask 'how are you ?'

too dark is my path,
for too long have i traveled,
too surprising is my destiny,
too sad is the reality
and you ask 'how are you?'

a rare clash of dreams and consciousness,
a cliched fight of desire and conscience,
an involved struggle between luck and work,
an unfought battle between leisure and priorities
and yet we ask 'how was the day?'
