Keening

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

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 keening echoed through the ancient ruins, commemorating the souls who had departed.
