Azure
Still
Skin in sun
Soft
Hair tickles neck
Warm
Feet bared caress earth
Damp
Dress of cotton drapes down
Light
Touch
Move
Stroke
Foliage and soil
Sounds of light
Bubble up from the bottom of the pond
And out through blooming lips
The sweet laughter of innocence.

Love the form here…phrasing that is short but not sharp.
