Shivraj Duggal is a freelance writer; he publishes his short stories, commentaries, and poetry on blog site Medium.com, as well as self publishing a collection of poetry and writing.
I started publishing some of my short stories and poetry on Medium.com a few years ago (which can be viewed here) when I decided to start writing short stories, commentaries, and poetry. I was always in touch with my creative side as a child, and decided that all the little ideas and strokes of creativity in writing I had needed a home. That’s when I decided to start publishing my poetry and other writings on Medium. Once I had about 15 or so articles up, I decided to create a collection of all the poetry I had written over the past few years.
A Fading Memory
The sun sets down,
On the horizon of a long lost dream.
Something no more than an escaping shadow,
A thing running that’s finally been set free.
Many eyes would look upon what wasn’t once a shadow,
What wasn’t once something with nothing more than fading footprints.
On the edges of a darker place with no sun rising by its edge,
but only one that sets; one that sets without end.
And before long we do not know,
Whether the setting sun, the escaping shadow, or the long lost dream — We do not know whether these are things truly beautiful,
Or just a dying tree shedding all its leaves.
