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...
