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...
