WHAT THE LAST EVENING WILL BE LIKE....

                                           What the Last Evening Will Be Like

You're sitting at a small bay window
in an empty café by the sea.
It's nightfall, and the owner is locking up,
though you're still hunched over the radiator,
which is slowly losing warmth.

Now you're walking down to the shore
to watch the last blues fading on the waves.
You've lived in small houses, tight spaces—
the walls around you kept closing in—
but the sea and the sky were also yours.

No one else is around to drink with you
from the watery fog, shadowy depths.
You're alone with the whirling cosmos.
Goodbye, love, far away, in a warm place.
Night is endless here, silence infinite.

The poem is about that we expect in our life.He is sitting on the window in an empty cafe near by the sea and the owner wants to close it as its nightfall. Now he is walking down to the shore where he can watch the last blues fading on the waves. He has lived on the small house but when he is seeing the sea and the sky it’s totally ours. He is not feeling the loneliness although no one is there with him even to have a drink. He is happy to spend his last evening of his life in such a nice place. He knows that even no one is there with him but the sea and the sky were always going to be there with him. Seeing the sea he is totally calm and even he has no regret in his life being alone in the last evening. Hirsch has amazingly written this poem giving a lovely message to everyone. I came up with different feelings the more times I read it. The last line of the poem which will touch your heart is... "Goodbye, love, far away, in a warm place.
