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...
