VII. SILENCE
Nothing remained that asked to be said.
No form endured to carry it through.
What once had spoken no longer led—
And what remained… required no view.
— Al Konda
VII. SILENCE
When nothing needs to continue
There is a point where nothing asks to be said anymore.
Not because something is missing.
Not because something has ended.
But because nothing remains that requires form.
Up to this moment, everything moved.
It formed.
It held.
It extended.
It returned.
It continued.
And each step carried something forward.
Now—nothing needs to be carried.
There is no pressure to speak.
No reason to shape what is already complete.
Nothing is unresolved.
Nothing is waiting to be expressed.
And so, something quiet becomes clear:
Not everything ends in more.
Some things end in the absence of need.
Not silence as emptiness.
But silence as completion.
Where nothing is taken away—
and nothing needs to be added.

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.
