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...
