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...
