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...
