Lack of recreational activities in life
The poem highlights that in today's world we have forgotten to put time aside for recreational activities. The poet draws our attention to the fact that life has no meaning if we only concentrate on our work and we have "no time to sand", "no time to see", "no time to turn" and "no time to wait". We have to give meaning to our life by putting aside some time for leisure and to observe the simple things around us - like watching "squirrels hide their nuts in grass", see "streams full of stars" and see nature and people dance.
