Santōka Alarm is an iOS app that wakes you each morning with a single poem.
Set a poem you love as your alarm.
Onto the snow already fallen, more snow falls. Every sound is drawn in, and the world becomes stillness itself, and at its center he is simply there, alone. Not so much loneliness as the peace of being wrapped in that stillness. A poem to hear on a snowy morning, thinking of what lies beyond the window.
