Magdalene by Gilbert .I like it a lot but what is a paraclete?

I also like this...well done Gilbert, point well proved (and worthy of it's cherry.)
Thanks for the kind comments.
The word "paraclete" is Latin in origin, I think and does mean "holy spirit".
It wasn`t really submitted to prove a point- though I do believe that some crit of the previous submission was unfair. At any rate, I still think that " poetry is the kind of thing to house my observations and ideas".
Paraclete comes from the Greek word PARAKLITOS meaning "one who consoles" or "one who intercedes on our behalf", which first appears in the Gospel of John (16:7).
