[*Hendecasyllable: line of verse containing 11 syllables with stanzas with repeated end words and a five line envoi that concludes the ballade.]*
Look as… “a crimson sky breaks the distant shore” Signaling I will see my fair home no more the ship drifts into shadows far from yon shore And soon the sky is dark night, crimson no more The vastness of an indigo sky I'm sure, will leave my soul lonely alite nevermore The dusting of pinprick lights are ever sure guiding all lost ones to find their way once more Again, crimson sky breaks on a distant shore A foreign land I have never seen before But skies remain the same over every shore Connecting souls across oceans of befores Envoi: As long as skies remain, with stars to proclaim I am here at home, even though not the same Now knowing, no matter where we are going We do all see the same vast canvas of yore Yes, the same crimson sky breaks the distant shore.

Nice form choice. I like "skies the same over every shore, connecting souls across oceans of befores" - a universal connection among all shores and all times?
