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...
