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...
