Skims like a
bird
Gliding
movement of a bird flying over a stream
Sways like a
flower
To
and fro movement of a flower caused by a breeze
Flows like a
laugh -- dream
A light laugh
from someone who is having a pleasurable dream
Hangs like a
star
A bright star
suspended in the night sky
Springs like a
beam
Light being
reflected from the surface of water
Falls like a
tear
The
quick,
graceful descent of teardrops on a cheek
Pearl on a
string
A necklace of
pearls
