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...
