I always like using dashes to emphasize importance, and the last line especially is a strong place to use it. I think the poem flows better with the division into stanzas. I also like the internal rhymes in the 3rd stanza.TO me the narrator is at a crossroads and he is trying to find his inner child/thing that is dearest to him for guidance and he remembers it is books in the end, the things most important to us are “in front” of us the entire time.
