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...
