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...
