Straightforward and observant as always John. Love this new poem.
From beginning to end, humanity has a weird obsession with the cycle of life. We constantly look towards the end as we grow, but by the end of our lives, we think a bit about the new life born after us. You're right that we focus a lot on texts that all describe a beginning but mainly a catastrophic end. But I think people forget that our beginnings could also start horribly while our ends can finish peacefully.
I love the line, "Home turns from haven to cage." It speaks to me on some level of what a home can turn into for people. For me, it's depression as a home can sometimes be our cage from properly healing.
