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...
