As time marches onward
the periods in-between oases
grow steadily longer
a mirage/illusion perhaps
of living in this not so lonely outpost
of humanity
as it’s happened before
will happen again
the divine muse at play
though he’ll deny any and
all involvement
as so he should

In any case
be thankful for the quiet as
some aren’t so lucky
they can’t afford to babble on
over every little ache and pain
as you do
besides
there’ll be plenty to celebrate
if you can make it to Heaven
and they’ll let you in
either way
the key is in your hand
