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...
