Question

I'm about you, day and night.

Sailing swiftly, constant flight.

Half me sleeps while half me burns,

But every minute gets its turn.

Above me lies the dread disease,

Below me lies the beast with cheese.

We never meet, we never merge,

together we fence the searing scourge.

Is it "sky"?

Above, below the Equator, the Tropics of Cancer ("disease") and Capricorn (goat), all demark the extremeties of the sun's perpendicularity, and greatest intensity.

I'm about you, day and night.

Time

Sailing swiftly, constant flight.

Time

Half me sleeps while half me burns,

Day and Night, halves of one day

But every minute gets its turn.

Minute hand on a clock

Above me lies the dread disease,

Death?

Below me lies the beast with cheese.

The mouse that ran up the clock

We never meet, we never merge,

Day and night

together we fence the searing scourge.

Decay etc.

So I answer Time
