Views of Life

Their views of life
are darkened, tonight
as they stand, alone
clutching each other
in a crowded room.

They are completely
shocked, and unaware
of any other people.

This is their party -
let them be at peace.

They sway on gently
to soundless funeral music
blasting from invisible speakers.
Or maybe it is just
the soundtrack to their tears.

Their views of life
are darkened, tonight.
