What a beautiful, flowing free verse about time. I love the description of it flowing through the slim neck of the hourglass. It seems so short as we grow older, but we must keep in mind the destination we have waiting for us. To see loved ones again will be wonderful, too!

Your poem is a good reminder to all of us that we are here for only so long. Take a look at the title of your poem. I think you meant to write (we), and wrote (wer) instead. The poem itself is perfect, with no errors. Good luck in the contest.

Except we receive the love given us and return the gentle touches of those we love we will fail to see and know the true meaning of life and what it affords us in pleasure. May God bless your day.

This is gorgeous, Mike! The way you live through the hourglass as it drops its sand of the immediate past, never to relive those moments again. Time; is the Lord's play toy. He placed it and retook it at His will, but not before our lives were complete. Loved it! Best, JohnC

This is marvelous free flowing poetry. The spiritual theme of the gift of time drew me to consider the deeper meaning.

Typo in your title. I think you meant We Are Time.

Sending you my best today as always.

    No wonder I couldn't find it. It was in the title. Thank you, Sally!

I really liked this. You created this great 'sand through the hourglass flow' with this rhythm of language dripping line to line. And the images are poignant glimpses of the scenes of our lives; the faces of children and grandchildren, the light in the window, even the raindrops, all set against the persistent passing of the days of our lives symbolized the sand going through the hourglass, a classic image, I might add. One of your best poems, I think. estory
