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...
