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...
