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...
