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...
