What am I? (riddle)

by Quinn Vokes

Locked in a dark closet of the past,

it does lie.

Concealed in a shiny trophy of death,

(its soul is crying)

until it is brought out and set free

to blow across the land

like smoke from a fire

or to sail down the river

like a twig winding around

and around.

Listening to the wind’s whispers,

one can almost hear a

new voice added.

Don’t cry.

Be thankful he’s in a better place.

I'm re-reading and re-reading. My only guess would be ashes -- but I'm probably far off

Funeral ashes from a cremation. That's what I'm getting from this. Good read, nice imagery. :)
