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...
