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...
