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...
