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...
