Let's start with a Monday morning,
Blue and dull like a burial day,
Drained of energy and joy
From the city's weekend party,
But a day the nerd embrace.
As Tuesday passes,
Wednesday restore faith
For a happy Thursday,
A day that ends jolly,
Starting a happy powerful Friday.
City dwellers get up the earliest
Before the vail of the night fades out
To prepare for the day,
More of a weekend really.
With Friday schedules that
Cover the earliest hours of Saturday morning.
As dawn enlightens the cold city of Windhoek,
Joy is drawn to the face of it's earth.
Giving life to the lonely city,
And the streets become alive yet again.
The street lamps are put out slowly,
As lives circle round about Windhoek,
To start their day in the locality,
Securing their livelihood across the city.
The traffic grumbles,
With buses and cars slowly zooming
On the swelled roads of Windhoek
Picking and dropping their daily passengers,
Rushing to make it in time.
The city appears more brighter
As it delves into workaholics,
Causing refuge-like havoc more than shelter.
And the morning gets busier
With city people working to gain a penny.
All in joy to end the week.
School kids appear along the pavements
In their different school uniforms,
Some clean, some with dirt, but
Showcasing the hardships at home
Or maybe just an atom of laziness,
But all at that,
They litter the city with beauty
As they unwrap vision
Against the curve of the earth.
The paper vendor is seen,
Distributing the Friday paper,
With the weeks news bulletins.
And the aunties open their shops
To start their daily hustle.
And as usual,
The tough guys fight in street
While the street dogs bark at them.
And the city police start their work from there,
Putting the city in order.
As the sun shines more and more,
And the world is recreated yet again,
Under the orange sticks of the sun.
Landing and covering Windhoek with grace.
Bringing forth a beautiful horizon
And entirely swallowing the morning dew
That hovered over the Friday morning of Windhoek,
To embrace a magical charming Friday afternoon.
