hey there, Sara Thomsen!

well, it has been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, I Remember, is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!

to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of Now Is The Time in exchange for a valid email address. Now Is The Time is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote: we are living in turbulent times. suddenly it is okay to be greedy and heartless? no way! a song of hope for our future, a new vision of America and the world.

we have a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what is your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.

anyhoo, the FREE DOWNLOAD, and the FUN, begins at www.JAETCHISON.com

I look forward to getting to know you a little better, and I thank you SO VERY MUCH for your friendship and support!

please tell your friends about JAETCHISON.com, and ask them to sign up for the email list, too! FUN things are coming up!!



peace from Atlanta, Georgia, USA,


J.A. Etchison

Poesia pal viento (gracias por la inspiracion!!

Hombre

Torre de hueso
Tenso arco rojo
Can’on de spiritu
Dinamo de musculos
Con mano amplia
Hace brecha
Y con la otra
enciende la mecha
aveces duerme
y el suen’o no llega
aveces la vida se vuelve
mazorca, se hace espiga,
y como la hormiga,
se une a la tierra.

Hombre, martillo de carne
Con mano de lodo
Y acero de sangre
Hombre, bestia encerrada,
En burbuja de concreto,
Acicalada
Donde decreta, contrulle,
Labora y destruye
A tinta y maza
Con comedia y farsa
Y feugo voraz , se expande
como deplegara alas
Un ave rapaz.

Hombre, infante
Confuso, confundido,
Delirante.
Retrocede,
Avanza, retrocede
Y cuando quiere,
alcanza portento.
Honbre, bestia del caos,
Que se extirpa a si mismo,
tranforma la roca en espejismo
y navega en un mar de confusion.

Hombre, trozo de barro fragil
e irresuelto que hace de la vida
su tormento y a menudo hace
suen’o de la vida.
Hombre, nin’o pequen’o
Que cuando le asusta la existencia
En la boca del lobo esconde
Su indecencia y le hace el amor
A la muerte.
Hombre, indefinido esclavo
Del presente
Que arrastrando invisibles
Cadenas del pasado,
Con falaz intento camina
buscando el horizonte.

Hombre saco de polvo
De eco del cosmos
Hombre, dios en semilla
Luz amarilla del sol.
