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...
