The First Field
By Al Konda
When there is no outside
There comes a point where nothing feels separate anymore.
Not because things have come together.
Not because something has expanded.
But because the sense of division is no longer there.
You don’t see it happen.
You don’t feel a shift.
There is no moment where it changes.
And yet… the way things are is no longer defined by distance.
There is no “here” and “there.”
No inside.
No outside.
Nothing stands apart enough to be pointed at.
Nothing is distant enough to be reached.
Everything is simply… as it is.
And because of that, something becomes clear in a way that cannot be explained:
There is nothing to move toward.
Nothing to return from.
Nothing to hold.
Not because it is empty—
but because there is no separation to make those ideas possible.
And in that, something settles without effort.
Not into place.
But into what was never apart.

The Mythical Poet (Al Konda) is a Romanian-English poet whose work unites form and fire. He writes in rhyme and symbolism, insisting that poetry must sing, speak, structure, symbolize, strike, and bring joy—the pillars of The Konda Principle, his philosophy of the art. Across 40+ books and countless performances, Al has cultivated a living, multimedia poetry: each poem arrives with a literary analysis, an essay for readers, a song or duet, and visual art bearing his sigil.
His mythic epic The Seer – Deluxe Edition rekindles the ancient vocation of the poet as seer; A Name I Never Spoke and Flame Without Shadow explore love, devotion, and inner transformation; ongoing daily releases blend classical poetics with modern production—YouTube premieres, blog essays, and social dialogues that invite audiences to sing the poem.
Al’s stance is clear: craft is not a cage but a sanctuary; beauty is not a costume but a covenant. In an age of noise and spectacle, The Mythical Poet offers disciplined music, moral clarity, and the courage to turn sorrow into song.
