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...
