Pangram ... Abound

Today’s word is “pangram” ... pan-gruh m ... a sentence, verse, etc., that includes all the letters of the alphabet. (Dictionary.com)

Abound
If we could see clearly,
     all the meanings in our day,
In every moment and encounter,
     within each look or sigh,
We might become aware of stirrings
     which lie close, breathing softly,
          even speaking urgently.
Their whispers are most often dampened,
     drowned out by human sound.
And yet, they call, and warn, and excite,
     using the pangram of intuition ...
          all her wiles and ways rolled into
                 a feeling or an unbidden thought.
If we were a bit more patient. Willing to
     listen. Aware of the help close at hand ...
We might be surprised by all the serendipities
     which would appear before us.
