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...
