There and Back Again

Greetings HiKoi, our names are Enoch and Cyrus. As your devotions leader Cyrus I’ll be attempting to help you guys find the truth of what the Bible says and how you can find God in the words. As a counselor, Enoch, I'll be attempting to relate my out-of-touch experiences to your lives and try to stay young. It seems fitting then to respond to random questions about ourselves with riddles, so here they are:

What is your favourite body part? 
Cyrus: Thirty white horses on a red hill,
  First they champ,
  Then they stamp,
  Then they stand still.

Enoch: While waking or resting
  Moving I remain
  Seldom stopping
  Always rapid

What would you want to get for your birthday?
  C: I am carried in a sack
  But drink the water on me
  Children look with hopeful eyes
  But kings want to hide me

E: A slip that is passed
  Managed first by Chuck, now by Jan
  Made of cloth, dyed to perfection
  By all sometimes sought
  But now you’re all is the standard

How old are you?
C: I established direct election of senators by popular vote

E: When it always seems like one of those nights,
  When this place is too crowded.
  Too many cool kids, I ditch the whole scene and end up dreaming
  Instead of sleeping.

What is the meaning of life?
C: The knell of the bells at the Gion temple
  Echoes the impermanence of all things.
  The colour of the flowers on its double-trunked tree
  Reveals the truth that to flourish is to fall.
  He who is proud is not so for long,
  Like a passing dream on a night in spring.
  He who is brave is finally destroyed,
  To be no more than dust before the wind.

E: Turn to the Writings, the section numbered
  To the sum of the members in the greatest love fest of all
  To where the preacher proclaims and the wise man speaketh
  Within the place, where wisdom’s provided
  To which all things else are as vanities contrasted


If you had to describe Hikoi with an animal, what would it be? 
C: In groups I sleep
  Alone I am meek
  My tusks are dread
  Yet I do not tread

E: Like the grand old beast I ennoble
  Which towards donkeys are opposed
  Sometimes sluggish
  Sometimes wild
  In the plains of two continent I roam
