ANIMATED a Wikem 2.6 b

ANIMATED                     a Wikem   2.6 b

zip by with a spin
over and over stationary images
enter your brain
turned right side up from being
reviewed first upside down and
over - the pieces of the
puzzle telling a short story
evolving, only ending when motion ceases...

or
when the
lights go out
and stage darkness returns -
zoetrope

ancient art turned and tuned to modern healing
from those faces whose current memories are less than revealing
ancient art splade and displayed
on underground rides below the promenade
ancient art tumbled and tossed like precious gems
revealing golden roses upon granite stems

tricked by quick movement
the eye easily plays ‘fool’
to shadow and light

zig and zag the electric connections
operations of the brain
excel to full speed  to interpret and comprehend
truth when plied by stimulating scenes
rational is questioned
over what is truth or fiction
puzzled by the short story told
entrapment or expansion of the tale bold?

Note: I did not post this at 'wp' as it would have been a challenge due to the 'design'.
I used these forms here; acrostic, Elfje, free verse haiku and acrostic.

jobs take them away -
putting little people in
my care; difficult?

perhaps not as much as some
challenging days none the less

baby steps every
hour; though time passes when
we turn from the clock

Karma is cause and effect. Dharma means cosmic law.
Yoga is enlightenment through movement and Tao is the
practice of acting in harmony with the fundamental essence
of everything you encounter.

Note: my haiku (or other forms) are my interpretations
or of how I might put the inspirational sentence
into practice, for me.  Also, I am going in my own order.

northern winter’s cold
being prepared's a given

north or south just know and glow

bask in the sunlight
on either side of the glass
enjoy your living
