Hi Crepuscule,
The best way would be whatever suits you as long as it's grammatically correct. An ellipsis is tricky, but is commonly used to indicate omitted words (normally) from a quoted passage; or maybe to signify a hesitation as if trying to hide something. Also, ellipsis use the way you're trying to use it—were it used correctly—would have a space after the last letter ... such as this.
An em dash— or a double hyphen-- should be used to indicate a pause or change in thought.
Another suggestion is to consider a change in wording:
Forms emerging of
your arms, your hands.
or
Forms emerging of
your arms—your hands.
