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...
