In the desert

In the desert

At night, the days
return, like waves 
on the sea
of Time, friendless companion.

At night, you are
close to me. Immutable,
like a cycling star -
a cloud to cloud
and grave to grave
eternity,
my endless companion.            My favorite lines.

I have trouble with "cycling star", mainly the word "cycling" as I'm not sure what kind of cycle you are referencing (and I also keep seeing Lance Armstrong).  I like the build up in each stanza and the ending.
