Keening

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

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

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

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

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