TRICKY!

It means a lot, yet it says nothing; it's meaningless, or says it all.

It only gains a meaning if it's pinned upon a wall.

Then 'here' becomes a certainty, because it's meaning's fixed.

Not, as if carried in a purse, it's meaning was quite mixed.

'Here', when it's mobile, is changeable, altering from place to place;

If I phoned and said "I'll meet you 'here"', I'd be very hard to trace,

Unless I added 'At number three' or something equally clear.

If I said it when riding on a bus what would be the meaning of 'here'?.

Then there's 'you', a nameless person, without a personality;

Only when I read the word does it take on some formality.

Then I know who the 'you' is, because I know it's me;

But who knows who the next  'you' will soon turn out to be?

I'm happy with the middle word 'are'; that doesn't cause me worry.

(But if I want this 'you' to be 'there' I'd better stop writing and hurry!)

SURE SIGNS

Spring blossoms at The Junction;

A very welcome sight.

Fulfilling a useful function;

Making the world more bright.
