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...
