Keening

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

The marathon runner pushed through the pain with a keening determination, longing to cross the finish line.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

The marathon runner felt a keening desire to cross the finish line and claim victory.
