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...
