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

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

The young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

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