Tennessee Drought

Tennessee summers do not simply arrive. They settle in, heavy and unrelenting. The heat rises from the earth while the humidity hangs in the air, thick enough to make every breath feel borrowed. The ground dries, hardens, and begins to split beneath a season determined to suffocate everything it touches.

Yet the flowers still bloom.

They push through the cracks with petals already curling beneath the sun. They open knowing the heat will take them. They wither, disappear, and return as though the earth has taught them a secret: dying is not always the end of becoming.

They bloom. They die. They bloom again.

Tennessee Drought is a reminder that life does not wait for gentle conditions. Sometimes it rises from the driest places, forcing its way through what tried to contain it. Not untouched by the season, but still reaching for the light.
