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...
