Keening

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

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

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

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

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.

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