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...
