because it is a force
because it brings us down to earth
because it summons the tides
because it transforms slides and swings into thrilling things
because it defines the paths of the heavens
because it anchors faith
because it helps us find our balance
because I’m sorry would fall hollow
because it pushes us apart then brings us together
because it holds our grief
because it gives weight to our tears
because it brings us to our knees
