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...
