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...
