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...
