Insinuations and Enchantment

An autumn mood insinuates
  change:
The grass a browner shade
  of green and ragged;

A smattering of wrinkled
  leaves accumulating;
And hosta flowers
  sere stalks;

Not to mention lessening days--
  a month and a half
  from the solstice,
  a month and a half
  to the equinox--

Premonitions to disturb
  the complacent.

Yet, meteor showers spangle
  the night sky:
Enchanted Stardust.
