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...
