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.

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

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

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