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...
