The Twelfth of Never

The Twelfth of Never

On the twelfth of never,
When I saw the light.
Perhaps I was clever,
Perhaps I could fight.
My life force a lever,
Out of my sight.

On the twelfth of never,
The tunnel was White.
I walk forever,
In fault of my spite.
A heroic endeavor,
Extinguished my light.

On the twelfth of never,
I begin my flight.
It lasts forever,
A monumental height.
My body and soul shall sever,
To correct wrong from right.

On the twelfth of never,
I lost my sight.
Time became a sense of forever,
Eternal night.
The flip of a lever,
Will begin the White.
