Keening

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

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

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

The keening tone of his voice conveyed the depth of his heartbreak.
