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...
