Patrick Okello: "A Nightmare Towards Christmas."

The moon cast its silver glow

On a night that was eerie and slow

The trees creaked with a

spine-chilling sigh

As the wind whispered secrets,

making my heart ask why?

The stars hide behind a veil of gray

As darkness descended, come what may

The world was bathed in an unsettling hue

A night that felt like a nightmare, anew

But then, a sparkle caught my eye

A light that shone bright, in the darkened sky

A star that twinkled with festive cheer

A reminder that Christmas was near

The nightmare began to fade away

As visions of sugarplums came to stay

The wind whispered carols, soft and low

And the trees creaked out a gentle, festive glow

The world transformed, in a magical spell

A nightmare turned dream, a tale to tell

For in the darkness, a light did shine

A Christmas miracle, all divine.
