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...
