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...
