you can be clear
that moment
was
a moment (S1 is very weak. Line breaks are excessive. Very little information gathered from this)
I saw it
in the distance
I saw it
as it came closer
I saw it
as I lived it (This portion here, also very weak. I'd cross out the second two "I saw it"s and remove line breaks)
I can see it
fading
out of sight
as I shade my eyes
to look ahead
into the blazing sun (You have a real image here, but I don't gain much information from it. You're relating a real image to an ambiguous idea. Fading / Blazing disagree, one of these words must be changed so you can make the idea a little more solid.)
(X)that moment
what a moment
I saw it
now
it’s gone (Everything from X to here adds nothing. I suggest cutting it.)
