Sweet Oblivion

Take me from my mind.
Separate each atom within my brain.
Let them float in happy clouds
on the wave of a summer wind.
Let them not know where they are
or have any conscious thought of
from where they came.

Take me from my mind.
Pull all thoughts from this funny head.
Discard each idea, belief or concept
into an abyss of solid nothingness.
Let them fester somewhere else
to grow if they may, but
to bother me no more.
