Water
When it comes to contrast
Compare humble with powerful at best
They are two features in this liquid fairy
Which giving full play on contrary
When she waves her magic wand
Change her, becoming limit and infinity
As well, with her finger touch
She is, definitely, force and mercy
Not to mention filth and purity
The running water comes from the heaven
Rumbling and rushing to the ocean
Desperately straight forward
Never return
On the way she goes
Nourish the earth
Raise the living being
Strengthen the ordinary
Empower the king
The other side of it
She’s as soft as tiny dew
On the mulberry leaves, she
Settle down the dust at midnight
Comfort the emptiness of long night
Wake him up from the twilight
Negotiate for him with sunlight
That’s her determination
Being fearless and bold
To reach her destination
As well, she may be considered
That’s her tenderness
Being thoughtful and considerate
To exert her influence
Great wisdom is in water
For being greatly tough and tender
She is, completely, powerful and humble

'bumble at the end is meant to be 'humble,' I figure,
so I read it that way. charms of a water nymph,
wistful & a clever negotiator...

Great personifications you have to this mysterious and majestic element. It's amazing how there are two sides to water: the life-sustaining part that no life on Earth can survive without it, and the furious force of nature that could spell our doom.
Great poem!
Great poem!

I love water as well, (my zodiac sign has to do with water ;P). It was a pleasure reading your poem, and if you happen to read some of my work, I hope you enjoy them.
Thanks for the welcome! DUP is a great platform to present poetry.
