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...
