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...
