You drift off, you feel light and soft
You're light as a feather as a bird in the sky
You feel the breeze around you, it's coming towards you
You're in heaven now, where the angels rest
You think your dreaming, but it feels so real
A bright light hits you, you open your eyes and see the wonderful distant clouds
of white and yellow, they're hovering there, like a dust in the sky.
Rest easy, you're in heaven forever
Here you hover while your mind lets go
Heaven will make sure you're safe forever.
Egh. Pretty weak. You don't have much in the way of language flourishes; you've got a few similes in a row: "you're as light as a feather as a bird in the sky" (2) but honestly it feels clumsy and would be more at home on the SAT than in a poetry book. Also, the overabundance of religious diction is stale; christian poetry is a bit domestic for the modern audience, it's all been done before and more artfully as well. You should go for more dynamic subject matter.
Also, for god's sake, check your grammar. Poetry is about language, if you spell something wrong it's like punching yourself in the dick on stage.
