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...
