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...
