Piece from the Class Trip

The trees know this place.
Their brothers and sisters rooted next to them.
Twining around soil that lays here from past years.
Breathing in the chilled mornings and fallen pine needles.
Singing silent songs of sadness,
while the ground endures their tears.
Not knowing how many children will
fall upon the ground this day or the next.
