Metamorphosis

The transmuting concept of identity called color changes on contrived palette inventing color mélange, while conceived chameleons crawl on human faces. In the ostensible show of life’s so-called drama enactments perfected with the labor of passion aureate the sequel created by metamorphic alchemy. On the visage of the self out of spotlight the colors melt, the unmade-up faces turn into mirrors of actuality, reflecting their definitions tinted in the pristine hues of the smile of the uncrafty children they were once. When the spasm of discernment breaks the mirrors, the shades of shattered facades splatter on the debris, deformed masks create deluding entities of chameleon, and complete the compulsive act of metamorphosis.
