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...
