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...
