Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

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

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

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

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