Is not life

What is this poetry?
What is this poetry I am seeing? It may be metaphor. It may be seeing ourselves larger. It may be calling us to our larger selves, out beyond ourselves. It may be calling us to our mysteries, such as of birth—out beyond where we know, which means out beyond where we have control. It may be calling us to our true Selves. It is likely all of these things.
If I wanted to distill them further, I would call it the mystery of our true Selves.

Once, twice, I saw the others

Not through my heart but theirs
Not through my being but theirs
Now we move within the truth of us
