The terrarium sits on the windowsill, a miniature jungle trapped in glass. Lush green grasses unfurl delicate fronds, their edges catching the sunlight like emerald lace. Chia carpets the base, a secret world hidden amongst the smooth pebbles.
A slender grass snakes its way up the side, reaching for a sliver of light that pierces the glass jar. Tiny droplets cling to its leaves, remnants of a misty morning. The air inside feels thick and humid, a world unto itself.
A clay campfire bursts forth, a splash of scarlet against the verdant backdrop. Its stone form stands out amidst the familiar, a reminder of human interference. A piece of colorful sand sits nestled amongst the greenery, a miniature fallen in this contained world.
Silence reigns within the glass. No chirps, no rustles. Yet, a sense of life hums beneath the surface. Invisible creatures toil unseen, their work creating a delicate balance within the miniature ecosystem. The terrarium, a self-contained world, a universe of green thriving under a watchful eye.
that “watchful eye” at the end made me think about us having a god-like perspective on the terrarium or diorama of our life
So descriptive! Love it!
