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...
