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...
