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...
