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...
