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...
