The implication is that time flows inexorably, ushering in the sentiment of forgetting. Oblivion surrounds us daily, much like heaven, and manifests in every setting.

The simile draws a parallel between two imagery concepts, allowing the term "what" to link various elements, providing a fresh perspective on the poem. The implication is that time's passing is unavoidable, bringing along the sensation of forgetting. Oblivion accompanies us much like the daily presence of heaven, surfacing in every context.
