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...
