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...
