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...
