The Long Road Eriks Esenvalds — Pdf

The text is by American poet Paulann Petersen . It is a deeply evocative poem about the journey of life and the inevitability of death (or a transition), often interpreted as a metaphor for spiritual migration or the end of life's journey. The poem uses the imagery of a "long road" that must be walked, with the "ground sounding a footfall" that is both a beginning and an end.
