Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

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

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

The sailor set sail with a keening longing for adventure, eager to explore uncharted waters.

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