Naftakin, The Blind           
                                   
                                          
 A  Student At  The Charcoal Guild... His 
 Eyes Sewn Shut  From  Birth...  The Most 
            Successful Student            
                                          
 But One Day He  Fell Down Into A Crystal 
 Cavern. It  Was Deep In The Mountain,  A 
 Great  Hall  With  Only  A  Single  Tiny 
 Inlet  For   Both  Light   And   Falling 
               Students...                
                                          
 In  The Fall,  The Quartz Sliced Off The 
 Threads In His  Eyes,  Opening  Them For 
 The   First   Time.  Before   Him,   The 
 Crystals Mirrored And Refracted The  One 
 Light  Smidge  Into  A  Whole Night Sky, 
 And   He  Was  Struck   Down  With   Awe 
                                          
 But  Also With  Shame,  Because His Eyes 
 Had  Seen.  Hurriedly,  He  Used  Thread 
 From  His  Robe   To   Sew   Them   Back 
 Together, And When Help Came  He Did Not 
        Tell Of His Transgression.        
                                          
 For Years He  Studied At  The  Guild. He 
 Became A  Master, And  Then  A  Pilgrim. 
 Yet  The  Image From The Cave Never Left 
                   Him.                   
                                          
 At The  End  Of  His  Life, When  At The 
 Edge Of The  World He  Opened  His  Eyes 
 For A Second Time,  Stars Had Hatched In 
                  Them...
