Hey dude, it's all right?
I'm just finished to hear your song, and liked, but I think the pressure and transitions of keyboard(?) notes, sounds a little rough, they could to be a bit more soft changes. But it's just my opinion, and a small detail, all the rest sounds very good to me.
I'm a photographer for profission, but musician for heart haha, cheers, bro!

I think it's difficult to assess because it sounds like the instruments used from from general midi banks. The timing sounds rigid as well, like it was dragged and dropped from a midi notation software (I've done this before a lone time ago lol). Maybe you just have perfect timing with your fingers? ;)
There isn't anything inherently wrong with the music, but I think it's difficult to nourish souls or uplift someone if there is a rigid sound, and general midi sounds. I'm sorry to be harsh, but I'd rather be honest than sugar coat things.
If you do indeed drag the midi from sequence you've created in notation software (or anything else), then I would suggest adding humanizing features to the sound (google humanizer vst). I'm not sure what kind of software you use, so I don't want to get too ahead of myself.
The timing of some of the instrument seem off, and I think it's due to the attack of the vst not being the same for each instrument. For instance, even though the string instrument may technically be in time, it seems delayed because the time it takes to "sound" the note is longer than the other instruments. So it sounds off tempo. So for situations like this, you'll need to offset the starting point so that the timing is more aligned with the other instruments.
I think the best way to nourish souls is to put yourself out there in the rawest, most real form you can. And unfortunately the current production you linked sounds like it was sequenced by a PC. Again, I apologize if I sound like I'm being harsh. It's coming from a good place.
I would suggest learning improv and playing just straight piano pieces with soft velocities and adding some reverb.
Try to connect with the instrument and feel the music.
Thanks for sharing your piece.
