       eternal constants

Do minutes hasten to an end
as waves upon the rocky shore
or is there simply an infinite
‘Timescape’
on which ‘past,’ ‘present,’ and
‘future’ points exist forever
intertwined in simultaneity ...
How many of our dearest
perceptions of Time, Space,
  and 'reality' ...
are but stubbornly persistent
  illusions ...
Perhaps  Nature’s truths, energy,
consciousness, compassion,
change, and harmonious love
are  the penultimate 'eternals'

Love your ponderings about these questions, dear Bruce, and the title holds the essence of the answer.

I have spent a lot of time pondering the same questions, Bruce. You have framed my questions beautifully.

Your poem and even it's title, "eternal constants," in and of itself gives much to ponder. Enjoyed!
