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...
