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...
