Fireflies like Stepping-Stones

Fireflies Across the Border

Intermittently flashing, they carve free-flowing paths of light through dark time. Each spark signals an evanescent route of moving  steps run-through by matching rhythms calling forth immanent reproduction. Leaving no trace except immediate direction to those already there, they are semaphores to an alternate world, passages from the future of a traveling autonomy.
 


 

The metaphor is derivative, a reproduction from a more articulate source. I cannot find the corresponding reference in the text I thought it was from.
