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...
