I've had just enough time... to admire the flower that strayed outside the fence
Saw these lovely flowers inside a fence during a casual walk in Munich...
There
was a flower that would not stay
Where it
is safe and orderly
Her
contented sisters warned
Of a
cruel world waiting but
She said
-
“I know
we all live and die
And even
if I were to die earlier
I want
to die outside the fence”
...and saw this adventurous flower sticking outside the fence
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in

I've an evening free in Munich on the Octoberfest month and I do what I normally do in another country with time to spare - I walk. I walked through the suburb looking for hidden treasures and treasures I found a-plenty like the "Buddha by the Wood" and even Pussy Riot :) in earlier posts. As I walked through small street, I came across wooden fences and behind them, beautiful yellow flowers were blooming. However, there was one particular flower that was different...

Very beautiful dear friend!
Happy Wednesday!

It decided that the safe world behind the fence is not for it. It wanted to savour the wild world outside. It poked itself out between the fence and smiled at the world and the passer-by. It risked being snatched away but it braved it all because it wanted to see outside the confine of the fence. It was willing to risk it all. And in doing it, it brought cheers to all who was lucky to chance upon it. At the fading light, I bode it farewell and wished it a long life so it can enjoy both the world and bring more cheers to it.

This sparks up my morning here in Toronto. Can't wait for ours. Wonderfully set and composed.

you are amazing at finding the meanings in the things you see...
your images are poetry and you seem to find them at first glance...
because, with the enormity of the traveling you do... you must have to capture these things "on the move"... your ability to "see" is remarkable... and wonderful
Beautiful post again Thou-San!

What a lovely and delightful find Thou - and marvelous story and philosophy behind it too. We all often come across this dillema of whether to stay where we feel safe or to take a chance a life to the fullest. This flower took its chance and had a great fortune to come across a caring, thoughtful and interestingly eccentric soul who didn't cut its life short but decided instead to kneel down at the spur of the moment (regardless of what anyone else thought) and take this very beautiful shot. Now not only has this pretty flower had a chance to gaze at the world beyond the fence safely but also to become famous in its own way through flickr and bring joy and delight to many viewers. I love happy endings. : ))
