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...
