like a fluff of poplar...like the vowel sounds you have begun with
gliding
on tippy toes...."gliding" could be brought to this line. personal preference: "tiptoes" over "tippy toes" the latter feels less mature; maybe that makes it more appropriate in a way?
through the air
Angels
flitting
in bolts of light
to an accident scene
White light
with a golden hue
trying to reach you
through the fog...this stanza almost reads like a haiku. it's great
And the flow
the natural flow
of a joyous world
held up at the foot
of your grief...this stanza works the least for me. the repetition of "flow" didn't sit well with me; neither did the opening with "and". What is a "joyous world"? I'm not sure what this image means for the speaker; making it clearer would impact me more. I think the last two lines almost balance what comes before it; I really liked them
Everything floats
from here to you
on a wing and a prayer
if you let it.....the last line establishes quite a tone for the poem as a whole and the last stanza in particular. repeating the "on a " for "prayer" could also make the "wing" and "prayer" stand out more as equals for me. that being said, the ideas have been done before.
Written only for you to consider.
