BRILLIANT! An hour glass is in waiting, patiently drumming it grains as one by one they move silently near in visibly - sharing is allowed their dream of time and motion. Your words conjur up thoughts. could but would never dare play over and over with one grain's contest without another as if time vying with its length at different times of year or/and life.
'We are the shore of something great': perhaps from which we move forward in time, in discovery? Perhaps.
Goodness, your words inspire thoughts I didn't know I had Thank you for sharing

Each grain of sand in an hour glass is a representation of the time we have, the purpose being to enjoy every second until the final countdown, finding purpose, joy, love, etc. This is beautifully written.
and if we can withstand the tide of life and flow with it rather than against it...
we definitely serve a purpose greater than ourselves..it takes all of the grains of sand to make up a beach.

Yes Jacob! Absolutely. Seeing the big picture once capturing the minute
1. Starting with the value of sand, existentially like dirt/seemingly worthless
2. hour glass remark- then it turns the look on a micro level, importance in every grain
3. SUCH ARE WE, important individually
4. Then a sway (adding to) in focus to this importance- the grains making sand, making the shore
5. the shore then metaphoric as in the brink of greatness, the ocean, the water, the basis to life
I liked the simplicity of this write, yet at the same time its profundity. Not an easy thing to accomplish.
If I can take the liberty I would tweak it a tad. I might eliminate "we are" and keep "the shore" as is, so it would read: Such are we
the shore
of something great
Also "sand of an hour glass" has been used and used again. perhaps another metaphor, or "
much like the value of sand
on Siesta Key",
Is in the purpose of each grain
It is your poem, and 'sands of an hour glass" does work. You should do what works for you... just my two cents.
