From Heloise Saunders

Arwen Kitson, a pupil from Ringwood Waldorf School, England, won the National Schools Poetry Prize for Peace with her poem Longing for Peace.

Longing for Peace

I, like the wind,
Like the howling wind,
Hope to get under the door
To seek the sanctuary of the hearth.

I, like the birds,
Like the fluttering, twittering birds,
Hope to sing to the sun
Hailing the light to spread across the sky.

I, like the trees,
Like the whispering trees,
Hope to spread embracing branches
Majestically crowned with blossoms.

I, like the war men,
Like the broken-hearted soldiers,
Hope to go home
To the joyous cries of children.

I, like hope,
Like the swaying poppy of hope,
Long to change the world.
 I, I am peace.

Longing for Peace has now been turned into a single by the Israeli singer songwriter Tally Koren and was released in the UK on Nov 29. Tally's mission is to bring her vision of peace and hope through the arts. She believes we all speak a common language through art.
