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...
