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...
