Is this poem to abstract?
As white smoke rises on black water glass
And skies lay still on horizon's line
I'll sit here in peace, watch the morning pass
And seek reasoned questions for man's design
This scene doesn't care for a tomorrow
Nor find conflict if a storm leaves a reply
Tranquility brings death without sorrow
Only man has the potential to cry
Does nature understand its own beauty?
Is man nothing more than natures own eyes?
Born to fulfill this singular duty
Until the last moment of our demise
The skies have changed on horizon's line
Seeking reasoned questions for man's design

This has the distinguished air of a soliloquy
and the joy of offering your readers
a visual and emotional sense of repose.
It is more psychological/spirit - ed than abstract.
Noticeably pleasing, it has a reconciling, upbeat tone
throughout its` panoramas both tranquil
attractively intriguing lovely opening line), and turbulent.
Your repetition of exactly the most inward two lines
has this a really enjoyable glimpse of nature and mankind`s
healing and the narrator`s contemplative relishing of the question
is shared most generously.
Thanks, I enjoyed
every line and image of this journey./ gazing, with you Fredric.

A well structured poem questioning
the "why and how our senses formulate
our perceptions, depending on emotion
and preconceived theories.
There will always be vairables, never absolutes,
for alternatives can interupt the outcome, without warning.
.It's an observational and very interesting
"thinking out loud" piece of prose I found enjoyable.
From all forms of "The Arts", I forward the theory:
"Abstracts can never be,
by their nature, be limited to pre-set rules
or guidlines for acceptance"
Not enough, too much or the word "no"
can't be relegated to the term, "Abstract".
Contemplative and well written, Fred.

Your poem implies that only humans can appreciate nature's beauty, and this is a very interesting idea. Great poem, Fred.

Skies don't "lay still." They "LIE still."
