First Line: A fog is more than moisture in the air
Last Line: Yes, there is more than moisture in a fog!
Subject(s): Fog; Haze
A fog is more than moisture in the air,
Clouded with cold, like frosty morning breath;
It is the sweat of fear, it is despair,
It is disaster, it is sudden death.
It is the sound of siren and of bell,
It is a shout, an echo, and a scream,
It is a pilot's nightmare-dream of hell ...
And never to awaken from that dream.
It is the twisted wreckage of a plane,
It is the school bus that derailed a train;
It is the shocking cry, "Breakers ahead!"
It is the iceberg, and the chill of dread,
It is the word unfinished in the log ...
Yes, there is more than moisture in a fog!
