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...
