A glass chest sits in a room with a single window above.
The window lays a gentle light on the chest.
The glass chest is completely transparent, even seems as if its not even there.
With no key to unlock it, we'll never know what’s inside.
It has this… This form of brilliance to it…
The walls that surround the glass chest are frost white, and a wooden floor that holds the chest in place.
Suddenly the walls fall and a beautiful grassland is presented, the window shatters into such miniscule crumbs that they were snow.
Colossal puffy clouds a spread in the sky.
Green grass farther than the eye can see.
Looking back down upon the glass chest, and it had disappeared and in its place; a key sits on the floor.

The meaning of the glass chest is whatever you really want it to really be, within reason. Like to me it means when you have a problem and its the simplest of things, and you just take a break and think or do something else for a while and then you come back to it and you know the answer.
