Keening

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
