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...
