Keening

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

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 old man sat by the grave, keening softly for his departed wife.

The haunting sound of keening filled the air as the people paid their respects to the fallen soldiers.

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.
