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...
