Torment

tranquil sunset over mountain lake

I walk down the street,
my head in the clouds.
Suddenly I know that high above
a distant bird is watching me.


I walk faster, harder,
like prey taking flight
from every predator.
I rise above seas and lands.


In the silence, beauty touches me—
the beauty of this single moment
that I live and that will never come again.
The instant quickens, I lose my footing.


The Earth calls me back to the prpoemsesent.
I land on a lake; the cold water wakes me.
Every childhood dream soon finds its sleep.


I have grown, yet my Hope stays young.
When the whole world turns too fast,
beings fall and disappear.

Hortense Laura Pantea, July 2026


In French:

Tourment

Je marche dans la rue,

la tête dans les nuages.

Soudain je sais qu’au-dessus de moi

un oiseau lointain me regarde.

Je marche plus vite, plus fort,

comme une proie qui s’envole loin de tout prédateur.

Je m’envole au-dessus des mers et des terres.

Dans le silence, la beauté me touche.

La beauté de ce moment unique

que je vis et qui ne reviendra plus.

L’instant s’accélère, je perds pied.

La Terre me rappelle dans l’instant présent.

J’atterris sur un lac,

l’eau froide me réveille.

Tout rêve d’enfant trouve vite le sommeil.

J’ai grandi, mais mon Espérance reste jeune.

Lorsque tout le monde tourne très vite,

les êtres tombent et disparaissent.
