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...
