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...
