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...
