The day has begun

My stems stretching towards the sun,
The brightness rising, the day has begun,
My leaves gently swinging in the breeze,
All noises stop and come to a freeze,
Crying, shocked faces gather around,
I knew I recognised the sound,
Trees being cut, homes being lost,
Humans don’t realise, what this will cost,
I am pretty sure that I’m not next,
I hear the engine, I was not correct.
