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...
