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...
