Wonderfully done and uplifting.

I loved the contrasting images of

"The trail's been blazed, there's tyre-tracks in the snow,/The deserts aren't deserted any more - " and yet their commonality.

I was surprised about the meter of "tyre-tracks in the snow." On my side of the pond "tyre-" sounds more like 2 syllables than one; hence I wasn't expecting to hear "the" before "snow."
