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...
