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...
