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...
