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...
