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...
