Butterflies Appear

As the fog materializes
Some birds sing songs of love
The Mockingbird sits fluffed quiet
Coo, Coo floats from the Dove

One lone buzzard soars in the fog
Dampness coats plants and trees
Waterdroplets form, hang; waiting,
Water the earth for free

Tiny buds and leaves appear
They long to display gems
Soon all will open wide those buds
Atop those strong green stems

Soon butterflies will appear
and gently stroke each bloom
Their gentle wings circulate air
Arrive in Europe soon

What kind of weather will those strokes
create?_Mild or severe
Will they bring gentle breezes there
And sweet air perfumed

Finis'
If a butterfly gently strokes its wings
in America, the molecules it stirs can 
profoundly effect the weather in 
Europe!!That is a fact..It is called 
the butterfly effect..
