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...
