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...
