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...
