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...
