Peacetime Pastime Creativity

One of the more hidden aspects
of lives lived out in full peacetime
is how nothing disrupt the constancy
of creative activity for the wealthy artist.

There, life is an unending stream
of different projects to be completed,
before death provides a natural end
to any further word or intent to act.

For many artists it does not end there,
there is often that last book to write/
recording to be completed in order
to be published posthumously
though such projects seem melancholy
without their author to promote them.

But long before that the calendar
becomes so full of anniversaries
of past events held on different dates
that the public remember their creative leaders
by the date they first heard/saw and heard
their peak experience of said artist.

By then all creativity seems to happen in the past tense.
