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...
