Appears you are describing two entirely different scenarios here. However, you describe both of them well.

Thanks for your comment Robert. This summer the smell of smoke and the dancing of the lights create two different images. love phyl

A striking contrast between the harshness of summer wildfires and the serene beauty of the northern lights. The haikus capture nature’s power and wonder in just a few vivid lines—a powerful and evocative pair.
