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...
