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...
