Walk On Embers

crave for, dream of
   wealth, power, fame, love,
      if worth fighting about,
         must be worth fighting for;

              and one can attain a dream
                 the moment he  wants it bad
                  enough to walk barefoot 
                on a mile of embers,

            even fanning them,
         stoking the flames, 
     if need be,
to get it.
