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...
