The Holy Spirit is feminine?

   
   "The Holy Spirit is feminine?"
   
Concerning grammatical gender,
The Holy Spirit, that Holy Dove, is an effulgent light so vivid yet tender;
Regardless, in Hebrew and Aramaic sound
It seems feminine, as if with God and Christ having gelled and been lovingly found;
Still, the Greek does neuter the word,
And in Latin, it is He being the "Helper" for the spiritually disturbed--
Saint Jerome around the 4th Century
Couldn't halt pondering dancing women so corporeally lovely;
Thus, he learned the Hebrew script,
Forging the Vulgate, further expressing that the Blood of Christ needs to be sipped.
At any rate of how the Holy Dove comes to thee--
The Paraclete is a comforter, not rotten fruit from a forbidden tree,
And there was a mystical man having a galactic twin--his name was Mani,
Possibly claiming to be the "Helper" that Christ said was holy luminosity;
Alas, they beheaded Mani; next, stuffed his body with straw,
Hanging it on a gate--many saw;
Regardless, we must all energetically love, floating above,
Like Noah's release of the platinum dove.
